In this second lesson, we show you the 5-step method for ECG interpretation made easy, showing you the ECG EKG interpretation basics.

We start off and cover some basic info that you need to know, including what the boxes on the ECG strip paper mean. From there, we walk you through a basic normal sinus rhythm and show you each of the parts of the ECG tracing along with at the same time we show you on the heart what is happening with the conduction system at each point of that tracing.

From there, we break down each of the 5-steps and show you the systematic way in which you can work through gathering the information you need from your patients ECG strip in order to make an interpretation of what rhythm they are actually in.

Hopefully, by the end of this lesson you will feel comfortable going through these 5 steps and that you will be able to properly identify and interpret a basic, normal sinus rhythm.

    You have a gift for teaching: explaining it simply, concisely, and speaking clearly at a moderate pace. Your visual aids are also excellent. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to viewing your videos.
  • @MeliYAH09
    Thank you soooo much! 23 years as an RN...never has this been explained like this.
  • You have the best ECG videos on YouTube. I passed my ECG test and got a job as an RN in ICU. Thank you for your time and knowledge. You are an outstanding teacher. I will be watching all your ICU videos😁
  • @amiraleu7823
    I can’t thank you enough for how much you’ve helped me with my last semester clinical rotation in the ICU, I’ve watched everyone of your lectures and feel so prepared. Your channel is truly a gem. I am so lucky that I found you.
  • A small correction at 4:05. I think you mean every 3 seconds. Since, every big box is 0.2 s and there are 15 big boxes between each dash, we get 0.2 * 15 = 3 seconds. But none the less, amazing video. Thanks a bunch. Learned a lot.
  • @nurselifewhit
    Such an excellent resource! I’m currently applying/interviewing trying to work my way into the ICU, and these videos have been so valuable in helping me relearn the science and details I’ve forgotten from school that will really help me have a good foundation for understanding more critical care concepts
  • @hferrell865
    I am currently studying and preparing for my Phlebotomy & EKG certification exam and this has been by far the best explanation of what happens during an EKG. I have watched other videos, bought text books, and not one of them explained what happens in the heart during each complex on the strip like this video did. I have tried for months to master understanding this and I finally can associate what I know in the heart with what I see on the strip from the patient. Very well done and Thank you so much!!!!!
  • @meganpurcell8781
    Thank you so much for your video. You are a good teacher and I appreciate your work.
  • @MBOsman
    Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time. Very helpful and crystal clear lecture. I don't yet understand how to use the last method, "the sequence method" when counting HR manually, but watching other videos in the playlist, I hopefully will get it as well.
  • @gracehug777
    At the hospital were I work, every year we have to take an EKG exam which can be stressful when working with patients that are stable and the only arrhythmia is controlled Afib, PVC's, Sinus Arrhythmia and Sinus Rhythm. So when this exam comes up, its stressful and we all have to brush up. I happened to come across your lessons and I am so GRATEFUL! I can't tell you how incredibly clear and informative, and just so easy you make every video seem! I can't tell you enough how Blessed I feel to have come across your instructional video's, SO BLESSED! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU!
  • @binary964
    Thank you Eddie! I've been binge watching your videos, they're all great! It's nice to keep re-learning the things I've learnt so I don't forget them, and you explain better than my profs! Though I found watching your videos at 1.75/2x speed much better for my ridiculously short attention span haha
  • @lizechard
    I have learned and understood more from this channel than I did my actual EKG course. Awesome channel! God sent !!
  • Very good explanation. I have learnt so much! Thank you so much. Tressie Wallace
  • These videos are so informative and easy to understand. Thank you so much.
  • I dig this animation. I really need to learn how to use these tools for presentation. I'm so glad folks are out there trying to add to the educational content of youtube! Good on you! So happy to be part of this educational community.
  • @AbelS12
    By far the best explanation I have ever encountered in my life. Thank you so much for the very easy understanding lessons for EKG.
  • @neomarokane6022
