Sinus Rhythm (5 simple steps for interpretation on an ECG/EKG)!

This video demonstrates a simple, step-by-step process, for interpreting a Sinus Rhythm from an ECG (EKG). Simple graphics and animations help to illustrate and explain the process.
-STEP ONE: WHAT'S THE RATE?
Most easily calculated by counting the number of 'QRS complexes within a 30 square length (large squares) of the rhythm strip.
-STEP TWO: IS THE RHYTHM REGULAR?
Are the 'P waves' and 'QRS complexs' evenly spaced along the rhythm strip?
-STEP THREE: IS THERE A 'P-WAVE' FOR EVERY 'QRS COMPLEX'?
Working from left to right (like a book) along the ECG. Also, is there a 'QRS complex' for every 'p-wave'?
-STEP FOUR: WHAT'S THE 'P-R INTERVAL'?
3-5 small squares from the beginning of the 'p-wave' to the start of the 'QRS complex' are considered normal.
-STEP FIVE: IS THE 'QRS COMPLEX' WIDE OR NARROW? A QRS complex 3 small squares in length or less is considered narrow (and normal). Greater than 3 small squares are considered wide.

Hii! I want to ask, what is 10 in the first step?

[@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381]

hi, the 10 is converting 6 seconds to a minute, 6 secondsx10 =60 seconds. allows us to work out beats per min. does that make sense?
