My drive to & from school is 2 hours & I didn't understand this. I sit in my room & in less than 10 minutes I understand something my professor took forever to explain. YOU SIR ARE A

[milongamia]

You are such a detailed teacher. I am not in medical field, but medicine has always been my interest. I learned a lot just with one 12 min video!

I've struggled over the years to understand EKG interpretation. This short video gave me the basic foundation. Very concise, clearly explained and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing.

Man I’m in my EKG course now and originally picked instructor led for this reason. I was the only one who signed up so I had to do self paced. This helps so much with somebody explaining to me with visuals. Reading the strip with determining rhythm and heartbeat is the main issue I’m having. This helped so much more than the ECG mastery textbook I have.

I'm studying MD general medicine, about this video just amazing and easy, quick, clear to the point . If I want to say the truth this is 1000 times better than my 6 hours teaching professors my request please post a video on Blood Physiology and Respiratory system Physiology

[Purplecolors]

you explain better than in school . You were more straight to the point ! Thank you so much !

Summary:
●Impulse conducation pathway:
SA node(60 to 100 beats/minute) --> AV node -->AV bundle(bundle of hiss)--> purkinjie fibres(left and right branches)

▪︎P-Wave: atrial depolarization
▪︎QRS Complex: ventricular depolarization/atrial repolarization
▪︎T-wave: ventricular repolarization.
●EKG INTERPRETATION:
1. P wave :
> the first small bump(atrial depolarization)
> upright
2. PR interval:
between P wave and QRS Complex
> counted by measuring the number of small boxes to 0.04s
Normal value= 0.12 to 0.20s (any value greater or less than thi indicates arrhythmia )
3.QRS Complex (inverted V shaped
•Many big boxes are present
•One big box has 5 small boxes in one row and there are 5 rows.
•one small box represents 0.04s.h
●Rules for measuring the graph:
A Six seconds rule:
>works for irregular beats
> No. Of Rs between 1st and 3rd mark
>Multiply the number if Rs by 10( for example, if there are 6 Rs between the 1st and 3rd mark then 6×10= 60beats/min
B. Big box method: count the number if small boxe between 1st and 2nd mark and divide 300 by that number( for example: no. Of small square= 5, 300/5= 60 beats/minutes.

So, my professor couldn’t just explain it the same way you did? Had me over here busting brains for no reason. I really appreciate you for making this video.

[harrisonbohorquez]

a full day of lecture on this, and a long night of study trying to understand ECG, and this 12-minute video was the answer to it all!!...thank you!!!!

[adriannadereak]

Thank you for this video! I have a learning disability and I'm going into the medical field as an EKG tech and I know it will be challenging but not impossible! but this helped me break it all down and understand it better. thank you for this you really do help people like me who have a very hard time comprehending even the most basic material. :) - Future EKG Technician. here's to all the medical students like me! let's do this!!

[yvetteramirez]

I am taking notes right now and you literally saved my life. I’m taking my NHA CCMA exam this month and I’m a little terrified but your video boosted up my confidence for EKG readings. God bless you🤍

[serahtruelyme]

This is a better understanding in 12 mins .. then my whole class in three weeks I been taking .. thank u

[kentis]

Wow... Just wow. You have successfully implanted a complete understanding in my brain of exactly how an EKG is interpreted in mere minutes. EKG interpretation was truly my only struggle throughout nursing school and I am blown away by how easily I comprehended what you were explaining here. THANK YOU!!! Subscriber for life.

[precybaun]

I've been reading and watching a lot of ECG lectures and this is the ONLY ECG explanation I understand. :) Thanks a lot. I hope I will pass my exam this April 23.
