For over 35 years, Bob has been delivering this course to Emergency and Critical Care providers worldwide. If anyone told you that you could take a 12-lead class and have fun, would you believe them? Presented by Bob Page, author of the book 12 Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers, this 8-hour, highly motivating, non-stop interactive course on 12-Lead ECG is comprehensive, including proper lead placement, axis and hemiblock determination, bundle branch blocks, differentiating wide complex tachycardia, and myocardial infarction recognition. Also included is the use of a 15-lead ECG for increased sensitivity for STEMI. Participants in the program will read approximately 200 12-lead ECGs, gaining both experience and confidence in their newly learned skill. This is a great course for EMS and hospitals implementing STEMI programs or for continuing professional development.

Objectives:

After this lesson, the participant should be able to: 

• Describe the difference between monitoring and assessing a patient using an ECG machine.
• Demonstrate proper lead placement for 12 and 15 Lead ECGs.
• Using a simple chart and leads I, II, III, determine electrical axis and the presence of fascicular blocks (hemiblocks).
• Using lead V1, determine bundle branch blocks.
• Describe the clinical significance of hemiblocks and bundle branch blocks in the cardiac patient.
• Describe a strategy for identifying V-Tach in wide complex tachycardia.
• On a 12, 15, or Multi-Lead ECG, identify ST and T wave changes relative to STEMI, myocardial ischemia, injury, and infarction.
• Describe a systematic “assessment” of a 12 and 15-lead ECG.
• Describe possible complications of prolonged QTc.
