Description
This course offers EMRs, EMTs, and AEMTs a fundamental understanding of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and their significance in prehospital care. Designed for providers who frequently encounter cardiac arrhythmias but may not fully grasp their clinical implications, this class bridges the gap between recognition and understanding. By the end of the session, participants will understand concerning rhythms and making informed transport decisions to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
