Honestly, you are the perfect instructor for me. The amount of material is overwhelming yet you are able to concisely and expertly explain the most important content while providing a solid base for further learning. Thank you!!!
thanks for your help! i only stick to the way you do these since you explain it so well!! Even when I was studying ABG's I didn't fully understand it until you made the video on how to do them.. you are the best! I only have 6 more weeks of the RN program...almost at the finish line :-)
I'm currently taking an EKG tech course, and needless to say...you're vides are amazing! What took you several minutes, took my instructor more than a day to explain.
6:15 the respiratory sinus arrhythmia - you said it is an abnormality but isn’t it a beneficial condition to have? In fact, the heart rate variability is normal, yes? Also once this effect of breathing influencing is gone, can it be reversed?
My ECG strip shows a sinus arythmia as above with inverted and no P waves. Is this a Junctional Rythm. Sometime its under 60 a little . sometimes above 60
What if sinus arrhythmia appear on adults? Is it a cause for concern? My cardiologist said my ekg showed irregular heartbeat that's supposed to be present on children. He was confused as to why I had chest pain while my other tests (xray and echo) were normal. Is it a cause for concern or it's fine?
Hi, Cathy! When determining if a rhythm is regular or irregular, what if the distance between the R waves are consistent but the distance between P waves are inconsistent and vice-versa? For a rhythm to be considered irregular do both criteria need to be fulfilled or only one?
Hi Caitlyn! Great question! If either the ventricular and atrial rhythm is irregular, then the overall heart rhythm would be considered to be irregular.
Hello my 15 year old had an incidente where she almost fainted combined by fist light vomit . Her ekg shows 50 witch is the same as when we took her to hospital , i was told she has sinus bradycardia . I was told not to do anything about if my daughter has been feeling good . I don’t know if I should do something . I need your help !!!what should I do ?
Had a stuffy nose for 10 years. Could not breath in or out of nose. No smell ect. Started walking 1.5 miles every morning. After 6 walks my sinus opened up and i can now breath normally. So is sinus stuffyness related to cardiac health?
While working out will definitely improve your cardiac health, the paranasal sinuses and cardiac sinus node are completely different. Happy for you though!
What you are talking about is a different sinuses,a space near the nasal bridge which can have infection. The one explained above is like an electrical conduction inthe heart that leads to heartbeat which sometimes can be normal or abnormal leading to heart conditions. Hope you understand ablittke bit better now.
Hello @LevelUpRN, I am getting confused about where you are coming up with multiplying the total number of complexes with 10. @5:40 How do you know to multiply it by 10?
I assume you know now, but incase anyone is reading this with the same question: It’s because you are looking at a 6 second strip, 6seconds x 10seconds = 60seconds/ 1minute. Then you get your beats per minute!
There are 1500 small boxes in one minute. So if you divide 1500 by the number of small boxes between R waves, that gives you the heart rate in beats per minute.

Wow, thank you so much!
My 22 minute lesson from my instructor was narrowed into a 6 minute video... AMAZING! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!😊

That's great!🙂
Thanks for your short and to the point videos Cathy! I have 7 more weeks of nursing school. Your videos have helped me on my journey. I'm almost done!
It’s is an amazing video, I learned so much in so less time👏👏👏👏👏many thanks☝️
You are welcome!

Not sure where you got the 1,500. Explaining that in your video would help
You are awesome
Thank you so much!

In lay man's term,is it good or bad?

We encourage you to reach out to her physician for medical advice!

Nick Watts that’s just the rule, according to my textbook.
All text book. Read first then come here to sum it up.

Hi, are these EKG strips 6 second strips?
I have the same question. What the heck?
Thnks teacher
Welcome!!😊
I didn't understand anything in this video. I love your video's but didn't get anything here
Thankyouu💕
You're welcome 😊
Why is it 1500/25? I'm confused 😕
Me too. I commented the same above. Where did the 1,500 come from
Can someone explain where the value of 1500 comes from?
There are 1500 small boxes in one minute. So if you divide 1500 by the number of small boxes between R waves, that gives you the heart rate in beats per minute.

I had the same questions, I posted this above. Super confusing as this is not mentioned in your video. @@LevelUpRN
Hi mam....sinus rythm with nonespecific st changes what does it mean??
Pls how did you get 1500
Looks like there are plenty of us asking the same thing. Would be less frustrating has this been addressed in the video.
I wish most doctors would say this. They keep trying to diagnose me with high blood pressure and give me pills because of this
Thank you if possible take ten million out we spit it or 60 /40 6:37
