I recently encountered this very issue where a patient admitted for another reason was being monitored and had a pacemaker. This article spoke to the exact issue I encountered. I questioned whether what I was seeing on the monitor was normal for this patient. I would've like a little more information on the EKG assessment normal/not and when to be concerned.
I found this article to be helpful and knowledgeable. The use of the EKG strips was excellent.
Very helpful, a subject rarely covered.
It was a great article. Thank you!
Timely topic.relevant content. concise and informative presentation.
Great article! It was a good refresher on pacemaker dysfunctions.
useful and informative
great information, will definitely keep this handy until I am comfortable with my interpretations
great article
Great review for me. Working on a medical surgical unit with remote tele we often have patients with pacemakers prior to admission . Tele reports called helps me understand.
The article provided useful information I can use to increase my knowledge and share with nursing students. 12/09/2022
