V-Tach and A-Fib. Survived cardiac arrest in 2020. Had V-Tach episode 12 hours later in hospital. They had to shock me twice. 5 days later, had a Biotronik AICD implant. No shocks yet 🤞 FYI, had a WPW episode 30 years ago with heart rate of 320 bpm. Tried RF Ablation, but could not find extra circuit after 8 hours on the table. Great job with these videos 💯. After release from the hospital after the SCA, found the ECG strip that recorded the V-Tach episode. That's why I'm here 3 and a half years later, trying to read the ECG souvenir 😊

Just wanted to say Thank you for thr ekg/ecg interpretation. I work for oral surgeons and am taking the ACLS for the first time. I am not a nurse, but your tutoring is fantastic. I received a package from the appointed instructor and I was not able to get what I have gotten from your lessons. I feel confident in passing my test now

Find myself reviewing your ECG lessons again since I need to renew my ecg certificate next week! It’s really easy to understand. Thanks, Eddie!

I just want to say thank you SO much. I have gone through hundreds of videos trying to study for my NREMT paramedic psychomotor exam. Your videos are by far some of the best videos I have seen. Clear, concise, easy to understand, not too long/too short and keep my interest. I’d love to see you to some more rhythms, maybe some less common ones, and how they look on a 12 lead. Also a walk through of the treatments (maybe you already have some?...I just didn’t check yet) You definitely got a subscriber, a fan, and a VERY greatful student!! Thank you again! 🙏🙏🙏

I don't know if anyone has thanked you for this but Thank You for spelling out your words. I'm "old school" and like things spelled right and I'm not the greatest speller (I take notes while listening to your videos)...so again, thank-you. Ps, Im probably the oldest nurse studying to be an ICU nurse...I've been a nurse 36 years. I'll be 61 years old in a couple months. Never too old to learn - that is what keeps you young. I love your videos.

I left Ortho Medsurg and Now in New To Specialty ICU training. I never had to read EKG strips in Ortho. Pts were cleared by a Cardiologist prior to surgery and they usually went home same day or next day after surgery, Thats quite the opposite in the ICU. The trainers are nice but they seem to make things harder than they hv to be and so dry that I find myself fighting sleep. Your vides are clear and to the point and I understand the differences between the strips. I feel more confident for my test next week. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the video, but actually "T wave opposite R" is not like a constant feature of PVC. There are different ECG leads and T will have different form in different leads. You can just say that QRS will have different form from usual SA complexes 🙌

What if you have a PVC but have a P wave showing up? These happen to me often throughout the day for the past 6-8 days. Usually 1 or 2 every hour. I think I have anxiety/stress right now. Also thought it might be caffeine. Wish I could share my Apple Watch ECGs on here.

Hello. Thanks for the videos, big help:) just a clarification, how do I differentiate between sinus arrhythmia and pac? The strip looks similar. Thanks

@ICUAdvantage

4 жыл бұрын

Glad you like them! :) In the PAC strip the rhythm is otherwise regular, so you will see equal time/distance between each beat and then this occasional early beat. Sinus arrhythmia is just an irregular beat in which there is not that consistent time/distance between each beat. It's speeding up, or slowing down or both. Hope that helps!

at 10:32, I think the QRS is just the positive part of the wide wave, the negative defection should be the T wave. But you drew the line across both QRS and T wave. Am I understanding it right?

Good catch. The example there wasn't the best drawn, but somewhere probably south of our normal isoelectric line is where the inverted T wave probably starts.

"Innocent" arrhythmias ? Do doctors often call supraventricular premature beats "premature ventricular contractions" when the person really had premature atrial or junctional beats? (Healthy person with "palpitations" perhaps due to coffee? ) "narrow complex" vs. wide complex (in someone whose normal EKG shows nice narrow complex normal ventricular complexes as to their basic rhythm)

Personally, I think these should be worth CEUs. They are that good, in my opinion.

Hi. I am currently working on a project on detecting and classifying cardiac arrhythmia. However I have a few questions. Can someone please assist me with those.

First thanks for the video. However, the morphology of the p wave in the sinus arrhythmia where somewhat different which makes it difficult to differentiate between sinus and PAC arrhythmias

@ICUAdvantage

3 жыл бұрын

If it helps, don't focus on the P-wave morphology. Its a matter of the timing. The PAC will usually come in "premature" or early compared to when you'd expect, in an otherwise normal rate rhythm. In sinus arrhythmia, the rhythm is speeding up and slowing down and so you'll see fluctuations in the HR. Hope that makes sense.

In terms of a sinus arrhythmia, how do you know that the impulse is originating from the SA node and not another atrial focus?

@ICUAdvantage

Cool video. I had been struggling so hard in interpreting ECGs in MedSchool and this video has just made things better for me. I still have a doubt though. In Premature Ventricular Complex how can you exactly point out the Q,R and S parts of the wide QRS complex???

@ICUAdvantage

Glad this video helped! You can still make out where it starts and where it ends, which is primarily the end points we often are looking for to determine the length of the complex. Q waves often aren't visible so you'd go from the start of the R wave.

They might be able to put you on a mobile monitor for a few days or longer to see if anything shows. I sure hope you can get it figured out!

Theres no way ICU ADVANTAGE could tell what is going on with you, there’s just too many unknown factors . Also an ecg is just a snapshot, it doesn’t tell you everything. (And trust me I get it, if I was concerned I’d want answers ASAP lol) Also I am not trying to be rude or sarcastic in anyway just advice from a friendly paramedic 🚑👍😊 ....if you’re problems persist, or you are concerned in any way and can’t get into your doc...don’t hesitate to go to the ER!
