EKG INTERPRETATION AND RESPONSE: VENTRICULAR DYSRHYTHMIAS AND PATIENT CARE

The purpose of this course is to provide nurses with information that is key to understanding the characteristics and general treatment protocols for different types of ventricular dysrhythmias. It also covers the general responsibilities that nurses have in caring for patients with dysrhythmias. This information is extremely valuable to the nurse's role in identifying and managing these conditions when they occur.

After completing this course, you should be able to:
  • Define and assess the characteristics of premature ventricular contractions
  • Define and assess the characteristics of ventricular tachycardia
  • Define and assess the characteristics of ventricular fibrillation
  • Define and assess the characteristics of ventricular asystole
  • Define and assess the characteristics of pulseless electrical activity
  • Explain and execute the responsibilities involved in caring for patients with various types of dysrhythmias

    CALL TO ACTION: WHAT TO DO WHEN A PATIENT CODES

    Nurses are required to regularly participate in mock code exercises for respiratory and cardiac arrest (code blue), and respiratory arrest alone (code purple) in different settings. This program demonstrates code situations and describes in detail the appropriate responses required. While it is not a substitute for participation in a mock code, it is a valuable tool to help nurses respond to codes confidently and successfully.
