Methodological ECG Interpretation The ECG must always be interpreted systematically. Failure to perform a systematic interpretation of the ECG may be detrimental. The interpretation algorithm presented below is easy to follow and it can be carried out by anyone. The reader will gradually notice that ECG interpretation is markedly

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a tool for recording and interpreting cardiac activity through repeated cardiac cycles. NSR is the default, healthy cardiac rhythm. The electrical impulse originates from the sinoatrial (SA) node and the ECG strip will demonstrate the following characteristics:
This is a brief and simple guide on how to interpret ECGs. The key to interpreting an ECG is to use a system when looking at each image. This will ensure that no important details are missed. This guide will briefly go through a basic system that can be used to interpret any ECG, and this will be followed by a variety of common ECGs.
SUBJECT: BASIC ECG INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUE 1. The Registered Nurse seeking additional knowledge in ECG Interpretation in order to competently provide assessment/care for patients requiring cardiac monitoring shall attend the theoretical classes and successfully complete test. 2.
To calculate the rate of a regular ECG, simply divide 300 by the number of large squares between two complexes. For irregular rhythms, count the number of complexes between 30 large squares and multiply by 10 (30 large squares = 6 seconds, assuming standard paper speed of 25 mm/s).
