Fundamentals of Cardiac Dysrhythmia Monitoring
This activity has been canceled. Please look out for a rescheduled date.
The Fundamentals of Cardiac Dysrhythmia Monitoring is an in-person course that is developed to empower knowledge, skills and confidence of acute care nurses who need to elevate their clinical practice and transition to the critical care setting. The course is designed to teach acute care nurses and future critical care nurses in identifying cardiac dysrhythmia. Using case studies and waveform analysis, nurses will be able to integrate fundamental cardiac rhythm concepts, abnormalities, pacemaker analysis and ischemia recognition and management. Didactic presentation, real-life case studies, and hands-on demonstration using cardiac equipment are designed for nurses to gain knowledge through detailed cardiac content and standardized methodology.
Target Audience
Registered Nurses
Learning Objectives
Nurses attending this course will be equipped with the knowledge to identify cardiac waveforms and analyze dysrhythmias that could lead to a change in patient condition in the critical care environment. Nurses will be empowered with the resources that will allow them to initiate evidence-based interventions as they correlate cardiac pathophysiology and dysrhythmia recognition.
80% of the nurses attending this course will identify at least one new learning that they can translate into practice and will describe its impact on performance improvement or quality patient outcomes.
