I really appreciate you for taking out the time to post these type of videos. I feel as though I'm in class and learning more than what I was while actually in school from my instructor. May God bless you!
2nd 3th and 4th example at 16:20 and 17:00 are 8 second strips, not 6 second strips, thats why he gets the heart beat wrong. just use the 300 rule if the rithm is regular.
Thank you so much for all the work you have done. I understand all the sinus rhythms and I'm looking at your other videos. I'm starting third semester in nursing school and these videos are helping me a lot!
I'm enjoying this series and learning SO much. Well done. Starting at 15:10, your paper changes to show 6 small boxes per tick mark (instead of the usual 5), (assuming one second between each tick mark?), so I'm not sure of the number of seconds in each small box. Hard to know the true rate with this different type of paper notation.
Love your videos!! I'm wondering on the "Sinus Arrest" at 23:27.. Perhaps it could be a "double sinus block" - it appears you can fit two equal QRS patterns on the isometric line. Looking forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks again !
Thanks for you work. Are you sure about the rate, how are you doing this. one box 0.2 = 300bpm then 175 then 150 100 and so on, alternatively 1500 divide by small boxes between R waves. I don't think your rates are correct. The rate at 16.02 is around 60Bpm.
Is the second example, (around 16:20) really normal sinus rhythm? Looks like sinus bradycardia by the way we were taught to count (big boxes 300, 150, 75, 60, 50). I'd put the rate at 50, not 90. But I also don't know what I'm doing.
You are right. It's less than 60/min. I always count big boxes between QRS comlex and divide 300/number of big boxes. The lector counted it wrong on both ECGs (16:20; 19min).
Marie you are right. Teacher made a mistake. you can count the hear rate with different way. You can do like this:300-150-100-75-10.... or You can count 30 boxes. it means 6 second and 10X qrs number in the six second. so there are 6 qrs in the 30 boxes or in six second. 6x10 60
Enjoying these videos. Good refreshers. However, you keep using the 6-second method for the rate which, from my understanding, is for irregular rhythms. You should be using 1500/small boxes or estimating via large boxes. E.x. 1=300, 2=150, 3=100, 4=75, 5=60 etc.
Why are you simply counting the beats in the strip? You cannot imply there are 100 beats per minute simply because you counted ten beats. If there are only 5 blocks between each beat, this is 5*0.2= 1 second between beets =60bpm. You need to fix these mistakes as the tachycardia example was actually only 100bpm which is at the limit of normal.
I enjoy the way you present, and you explain well but I hate that you are NOT calculating your rates correctly. I see what you are doing, you're assuming you have a 6 second strip, and its not a big deal to me because I get it but for people who are just learning, this could be extremely confusing. Sorry but you should remake this or put a note on here that the rates are wrong. J/S.
