what this Event is about

The growth of telemetry in both specialist units and general ward situations has heightened the Nurse’s responsibility to ensure their knowledge regarding cardiac arrhythmias and ECG interpretation is current and reflects best practice guidelines.

The content covered in this seminar is considered essential knowledge and clinical competence of any Nurse in ward telemetry, coronary care, critical care, and emergency nursing. It is also vital information for the Nurse working in other clinical areas who want to upskill their knowledge of the interpretation of arrhythmias.

Understanding the foundation of electrophysiology and the three parameters of measurements will aid the Nurse in recognising any deviation from the normal cardiac rhythm.

“The fear and uncertainty of reading ECGs and telemetry is something I don’t need to feel anymore, now I have the confidence to apply Anne’s Famous 5 step process to interpret heart rhythms. If you feel anxious when faced with an ECG or telemetry monitor then this course will change all that!”
– Jodie, Telemetry and ECG Interpretation, The Gold Coast 2023

Learning Outcomes

In this seminar, you will:

- Identify the three essential parameters (values) that assist with the analysis of a rhythm strip
- Demonstrate how to work out these parameters: PR interval, QRS width, and QT interval
- How to interpret a 12-lead ECG
- Explore the additional clinical scenarios of a drug overdose and post-myocardial infarction and what the Nurse would observe on a rhythm strip of that patient

You will Also learn:

The cardiac complex: waves, segments, and timing intervals
The foundation of interpretation of sinus rhythm
The presentation and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation
Two potentially life-threatening complications of atrial fibrillation
Interpretation of PEA (Pulseless electrical activity) and VT (Ventricular tachycardia)
The treatment of PEA and VT according to the Australian and New Zealand Committee of Resuscitation guidelines (ANZCOR)
The importance of assertive communication in getting the best outcome for your patient
The warning signs of impending cardiac arrest on the telemetry monitor
The R-on-T phenomenon
Sudden cardiac death in the youth
Hereditary Long QT interval syndrome
How a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presents and the gender issues on presentation
The common errors made in performing a 12-lead ECG
The difference between angina, anterior and inferior MI on the 12-lead ECG
Wellen’s syndrome
SCAD – Spontaneous coronary artery dissection
The presentation of Takotsubo syndrome
The recognition of a paced rhythm
The three common tachycardias seen on telemetry:
- Sinus tachycardia
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular tachycardia

Anne has a passion for teaching which she does in an unpretentious way that ensures you will not only understand and retain what she presents but will enjoy this learning experience. She has extensive experience of over 26 years lecturing for Gold Coast Health District and Griffith University.

Anne is a frequent presenter at workshops, conferences & seminars throughout Australia & New Zealand on subjects such as high dependency nursing, cardiac arrhythmias & ECG interpretation, chest x-rays interpretation, clinical assessment of the deteriorating patient, assertion training and leadership. She conducts accredited advanced life support training for nurses, doctors and paramedics.

“This course should be taught in Uni’s and hospitals everywhere. I finally get it. I have watched videos, read books, followed presentations on YouTube and gained some knowledge but this course just made it all click.”
– Lysandra, Telemetry and ECG Interpretation, Bundaberg 2023
