ECG Rhythms and ACLS Cases 2019.5.02

Rhythm modules review ECG rhythm recognition. The ACLS Cases app offers a simulator for training purposes.

The new rhythm primer module introduces the basics of interpreting electrocardiograms. The challenge module provides three exercises to enhance your ability to identify EKG rhythms. This latest version boasts improved performance in offline mode.

The ECG Rhythms and ACLS Cases application is designed to aid in successfully completing the American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course. By incorporating ECG Rhythms and ACLS Cases into your routine, you can sustain your cardiac resuscitation skills, ensuring readiness to lead an effective 'code blue' team.

With four modules geared towards enhancing your ECG rhythm identification and patient treatment skills, ECG Rhythms and ACLS Cases caters to a comprehensive learning experience. The ECG Rhythm Primer module revisits the essentials of identifying cardiac rhythms in an electrocardiogram lead II. It explores the waves, intervals, and provides a systematic approach to rhythm identification. The Rhythm Tutor module teaches and reinforces a structured four-question technique for identifying electrocardiogram rhythms. Once confident in your abilities, challenge yourself with the Rhythm Challenge.

The Rhythm modules showcase 80 distinct electrocardiogram waveforms moving across the screen, simulating a real ECG monitor experience. Mastering the art of recognizing EKG rhythms dynamically on-screen enhances your clinical proficiency beyond static tracing analysis typically found in textbooks.

After mastering rhythm identification, delve into the ACLS Cases module to simulate patient resuscitation scenarios based on current ACLS guidelines. Practice megacode management using a realistic screen-based simulator regularly updated to align with the 2015 AHA treatment protocols. Assess patient conditions, interpret electrocardiogram rhythms, decide on suitable interventions, and lead a team through resuscitation efforts including defibrillation and drug administration.

The app features 12 cardiac arrest case scenarios covering ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, asystole, and various tachycardia algorithms. Remember, this application is intended for training purposes only; real-life patient conditions may differ from simulated scenarios. However, consistent practice will equip you with the skills needed to confidently lead full-scale cardiac resuscitations.
