How to quickly read an EKG in the emergency department

There are many different parts to the EKG, and if you're like me, during school I got really bogged down with the details.

In this video, we'll talk about the emergent and pressing details of an EKG that you need to spot in the ED.

I'll also talk about the systematic approach to reading an EKG so that we make sure you don't miss anything emergent.

A few things we'll touch on today:
- What is the rule of 300
- Systematic way to read the EKG every time
- What are the appropriate QRS and QT interval lengths?
- How to treatment Hyperkalemia with EKG changes
.
