    Great job. Just a tip.
    Most ECG strips show a black line or a black arrow after every 15 squares. So if you watch that out from first black line to the 3rd black line is 30 squares (15+15) you can count R waves between those without having to actually cou t the squares.

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  8 років тому

      +Carolina Palacios Yes, you want to start counting where the first p-wave appears and then onward in order to count the heart rate.

    Hi! Can this method be applied if I get ECG measured only during 5 second, speed 50 mm/min? Shall I multiply number of the beats with 12 then?

  • @nicolettewaite5664
    @nicolettewaite5664 8 років тому +2

    if there is not a P wave present, are you able to count the atrial rate?

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  8 років тому +1

      If there is not a p-wave, you can't count the atrial rate...for example, this happens when the patient is in atrial fibrillation due to the atriums quivering which causes you not to see a p-wave.

    • @nicolettewaite5664
      @nicolettewaite5664 8 років тому

      As is true for SVT, PEA, V-fib etc, correct? Do you have a video for measuring the QT interval?
      Your videos have been extremely helpful! Thank you!

    @alienoid4459 8 років тому +1

    why do u multiply by 10?

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  8 років тому +2

      Great question! You multiply by 10 because there are a span of 10 boxes with 1 second on the EKG paper. Therefore, when you count the number of r-waves within 6 seconds and multiply by 10 you get the heart rate.
