TEACHING THE INTERPRETATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS TO STUDENTS

Electrocardiography is the most important emergency tool in the prehospital stage. It is a useful non-invasive diagnostic method for the rapid detection of various heart diseases. The clinical value of an electrocardiogram (ECG) depends on the doctor's ability to accurately interpret the ECG result. [1]Electrocardiography is an essential tool in prehospital emergency care. It is a useful, non-invasive diagnostic method for the rapid detection of various heart diseases, in particular acute coronary syndrome and electrocardial arrhythmias. ECG monitoring is often recommended for patients at risk of arrhythmia or suspected coronary artery disease. [3] It can be handled appropriately to assist in the diagnosis or treatment of a number of life-threatening diseases. In intensive care units, including emergency departments (ERs), intensive care units (ICUs), and cardiac units (ICUs), patients are highly dependent on healthcare professionals for treatment[4]. Patients in these units usually require ECG monitoring. In this regard, medical staff must acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive and appropriate medical care to all patients with various heart diseases, especially seriously ill in hospitals [2].
