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.
You have the best ECG videos on TH-cam. 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😁
This is amazing to hear Joelle!!! Congratulations and so happy to have been able to help in some way. I appreciate the kind words and wish you all the best. Lots of videos out there, so I hope you like them!
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!!!!!
This is so awesome to hear! I'm so happy that this helped it all click for you. Thats so great. Thank you Holly for taking the time to let me know this! 🙂
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!
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.
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.
Thank you so very much. I am studying for ACLS, and it's been 6 years since I've been in a position where I needed it. I really appreciate the line upon line, precept upon precept teaching. It's straightforward, understandable, easy to follow, implement and remember.
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
I am preparing my self to take my ACLS & BLS crash coarse coming tuesday and this helped me alot, your explanation is so priceless doc, thanks ever so much
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
You are very welcome! You've got a LOT to binge watch these days lol! As for the speed, it's so funny because I hear many people on both sides... either I'm too fast, or I'm too slow. I certainly have heard others mention about speeding it up, which is awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and explaining things soo well.. u really are apt at making things easy... I would like to know that if one big box is 0.2 sec so five big boxes make 1 sec and 15 big boxes make 3 seconds but u said it makes 1.5 sec,,, I just don't get this point ,,please explain 4:04 to 4:11
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.
Thanks man! You've got some great content yourself. It really is amazing the amount of great information out there these days on such a simple platform to use. As for the animation stuff, its actually quite easy. Feel free to shoot me an email and I'd be glad to talk you through it. Side note, Army flag, NC hat, souther pines, I've got to ask... Bragg? Former 82nd here if so.
@@ICUAdvantage I did do some time at Bragg. Not with the 82nd, though. Look's like we joined up at about the same time. I was at Bragg in '04, actually. I'll shoot you an email today.
Hello I love you explanation of ECG This is the most easy way to understand the ECG I don’t speak good English so for me was very easy thank you so much 😊
The times are for 25mm/s speed of strip going through the machine, it is standard mostly, but there are places on the globe where they do 50mm/s so it is 0,02s per small box and 0,1s for big box, just for comment-readers to know :)
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.
Thank you for the material! Maybe in future videos make the mouse be a different color on the screen that way we can see you hovering and see where you’re going? It helps keep track of what you’re referring to, thanks!
I’m over here worried I’ll never understand ECG for nursing school and you have been an absolute blessing. My only confusion Is about ensuring you are looking at lead 2? Do you have any videos explaining that concept?
Great to hear the videos have been helpful. I actually get to talking about this in depth in the 12-lead EKG series that I'm currently doing. But Lead II is typically going to be a positive waveform and is generally the one that is best for basic rhythm interpretation as the other leads start to look different. Its just the classic view. It certainly can be done from other views, but is easiest and best from II.
Please fix or pin a clarification statement to the top of your comment thread r/t seconds: 0.2 sec. (per big box) x 15 = 3 seconds; 0.2 sec. (per big box) x 30 (or 2 sets of 15) = 6 seconds. The mistake causes confusion. Otherwise, good video. Thanks!
@@saraherget5089 haha oops. Well thanks! I did move away from it but my newest videos have a new intro with a pretty good song. You’ll have to let me know what you think of that one! 😊
Hiya...I know it's years later but from the first video in this series, what actually triggers the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release its calcium and activate the muscle cells to contract? I was waiting for the answer 😢 anybody???
In 6 second rhythm strip there are total 30 large boxes. As 15 boxes are between the two hashes and 30 boxes between three hashes. There are total three hashes on 6 second rhythm strip and we have 30 large boxe in total,and now 30×0.2=6 seconds Is it clear now ?
Can I ask, why lead 2? Is that just for continuity of this video or is that where you would recommend to start your ECG interpretation? Thanks, great video!
Lead II presents in the most commonly referenced polarity and strengths that are taught. When you start looking at other leads, things are flipped and look different. Eventually you learn to read these too, but for consistency Lead II is the most commonly referred.
@@ICUAdvantage that method I prefer the most also. As a practicing physician I am well aware with drugs and diagnosis, but my only problem was correct ecg reading! Now I am reading them better than before after seeing the lecture. Really thankful to the channel and the presenter.

I have learned and understood more from this channel than I did my actual EKG course. Awesome channel! God sent !!
So happy to hear this Charlize! Really glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much . I have been away from the bedside 12 years returning to bedside now and your views have help me. Much Appreciation.

15 boxes = 3 seconds, not 1.5 seconds. That was very confusing for me! Otherwise very helpful, thank you!
thank you for this comment! I was so confused as to how it could possibly be 1.5 sec lol
Correct
I was about to have to look at math again which I hate because I'm not good at it. Thank you! 😅
So glad I saw your comment before watching or I would’ve gotten stuck for 30 mins trying to figure it out 😂
Perfect, these lessons are like a reference to me, I am soO grateful

Thank you so much. This helped me greatly 💕
Hey Eddie a emergency med/code lesson would be nice. I feel anxiety about being the RN pulling and mixing meds during a code.
Definitely on the todo list soon!
great video, but a small clarification. At 4.07 time in the video don't we see one of these marks every 3 seconds ?
every 15 boxes is actually 3 seconds and not 1.5 seconds (0.2 seconds x 5=1 sec. )
Thank you
Very helpful. Thanks very much.
VERY helpful..thx
Thank you for the information.
Happy to help!
Thank you for the material! Maybe in future videos make the mouse be a different color on the screen that way we can see you hovering and see where you’re going? It helps keep track of what you’re referring to, thanks!
