)...I'd like to send you to a blog that has some.
I've recently started reading THE ECG BLOG, which I'd like to define as, "The Cardiac/Tele Junkie's Best Friend." I may or may not have mentioned before that in addition to being totally interested in all things trauma, I also enjoy reading and learning about telemetry, rhythm interpretation, and all things cardiac. It only makes sense, right?
Now, I'll also admit that while I'm intrigued by ECGs, I really do not have an expansive knowledge when it comes to interpretation of strips. At this point in my life and RT school, I'm able to look at a heart monitor and either say, "Oh, that's good," or, "Holy crap! Do something about that." (You see, we haven't covered this topic in detail as of yet.) So don't worry, I won't be coming to a hospital near you any time soon as a student, and be the one in charge of making sure your mom or dad's heart isn't in a dangerous rhythm. The point I'm trying to make is that, well, this site is awesome!
Not only do you get to see a variety of rare heart rhythms, like a complete (third degree) atrioventricular block with junctional escape rhythm, but you also get to learn something along the way, as the blog author does a very good job at explaining how to interpret this rhythm.
When you get a chance, I'd definitely recommend you follow The ECG Blog.
That is all.
Stumble It!
