About the course
This webinar comprises online interactive lectures and interactive discussions by Paediatric Cardiologists who are very familiar with the questions asked by the doctors working with paediatric patients. It provides an update on how to read ECGs –the basics and beyond – with a focus on ECG abnormalities that are highly relevant to the practice. During the day, delegates will have the opportunity to undertake interactive ECG interpretation, putting into practice the techniques learned in the lectures, with live tutors’ feedback.
The aim
To provide all doctors working with children with a practical and comprehensive webinar covering a wide range of paediatric ECGs that will assist them in developing a skilled and systematic approach to interpreting an ECG, identifying the red flags and to decide when to refer further to a specialist.
By the end of the course, participants will have:
- A comprehensive understanding of best imaging interpretation and reporting practice in intensive care
- Improved imaging interpretation skills
- Greater confidence in their advanced practice
- Identified skills and knowledge gaps relevant to their practice, and clear ways by which these can be addressed.
- Broader understanding of imaging practices and guidelines
Sessions with lectures and cases will cover
- How to interpret an ECG and NOT how to take an ECG
- Abnormalities that you will normally see and what not to miss
- Abnormal ECGs – clinical symptoms to look for, and key clinical questions to ask the patient
- ECG abnormalities related to psychiatric medication and medication management
- What ECG is contraindication to psychotropic medication?
- By the end of the course, delegates will develop a skilled and systematic approach to interpreting an ECG, identifying the red flags and to decide when to refer further to a specialist
- Places at this webinar are strictly limited so as to maximise webinar interaction
THE INTERACTIVE ECGS DISCUSSION
- All attendees look at the ECG cases is depth guided by the tutor.
