Imagine your typical day at work… you go from room to room checking on all of your patients when you see an EKG readout that seems abnormal. What you do next can mean life or death for your patient — and if you can’t read an EKG properly, it’s like working with blinders on.

Take the fear and intimidation out of EKG interpretation!

Now is your chance to learn how to quickly and confidently identify changes in a patient’s cardiac status! With combined experience of over 65 years, the critical care experts in this course will give you a step-by-step systematic approach that is guaranteed to improve your skills. With the easy-to-understand techniques in this training, you will be able to identify acute coronary syndromes, bundle branch blocks, and challenging rhythms that you might have missed before.

In this cutting-edge course, you will transform your EKG skills and be fully prepared to recognize, analyze, and respond in patient emergencies. You will develop the abilities to:

• Identify QRS axis to help determine diagnosis
• Contrast left anterior and posterior hemiblocks
• Recognize the location of acute coronary syndromes
• Differentiate LBBB versus RBBB and their significance
• Find chamber enlargements
• And more!
