Mar 5, 2011 · The components of an ECG How to read ECG paper. The paper used to record ECGs is standardised across most hospitals and has the following characteristics: Each small square represents 0.04 seconds; Each large square represents 0.2 seconds; 5 large squares = 1 second; 300 large squares = 1 minute
Common findings. Sinus rhythm (which is the normal rhythm) has the following characteristics: (1) heart rate 50–100 beats per minute; (2) P-wave precedes every QRS complex; (3) the P-wave is positive in lead II and (4) the PR interval is constant.
Aug 23, 2024 · Being able to read an EKG or ECG is an important skill for nurses. But looking at a 12-lead EKG/ECG can put your own heart into a lethal rhythm. Nurses are usually the first ones to read that “hot off the press” EKG tracing. This article will explain everything you need to know about EKG readings.
Learn how to interpret ECGs with a systematic approach and a good system. Find out the normal and abnormal features of ECG segments, such as PR interval, QRS, ST segment, QT interval and T-wave.
