First person to explain the interpretation in less than 10 minutes. Take a bow!
I'm a doctor and this is a very good and informative video. I'm not surprised because 95% of my clinical education is from nurses.
Honestly, this is the first clear video I've found to introduce me to ECGs, I'm learning them in med school right now and the information they gave us just delves straight into leads without ever explaining the basics
Like a boss
Hats off
I was afraid of that but I believe it, I've been thru the entire medical school curriculum, bought every book, heard not ever lecture but probably more than you & I listened (you were on your phones or computers playing video games) I have little "context' coz I don't practice every day but I know how dumb you guys are, good gawd, I listened to lectures, actually bought the books- I didn't use Wikipedia instead (I know u guys fon't buy the books, that's a scandal). I know much more than any MD I see including my new neurosurgeon (about my condition, at least, but probably everything). I started buying neurosurgery books in high school at 15, graduated early, went to college at 16, A honor roll, majored in Psychology, was LCSW by 24 and worked as Medical Social Work Hospital Director for 30 years, then got Psychology PhD. My health declined for unknown reason at 65, which I discovered, after a little over 2 years (norm for MDs to figure it out is 12 YEARS), Pituitary adenoma, very odd after being a 50 year Adele Davis devotee ( 3 children born with teeth breaking thru and able to roll over and hold heads up on day of natural childbirth, first walked at 8 months other two at 9, all genius IQs 169, 151, 150), 25 year vegetarian, almost 50 years regular exercise (every other day 20 minutes on bike then elliptical, in addition to using all machines at gym). I wasn't given Hydrocortisone and DA soon enough (ACTH 2..6, Elevated Prolactin ie. No dopamine 4/15/2022)- unbeknownst to me, had gone into heart failure, (LBBB low voltage and NOT TOLD, so I had infarction a few months later. Now, I have CHF (with LBBB, & low voltage and the other day, diagnosed with borderline left deviation, with wondering leads in V1 etc). I have to wait until November to even see an actual cardiologist.
In the mean time I've contracted shingles, of course in trigeminal nerve- and everything my MD has prescribed for me would put me back into acute heart failure. Sorry, didn't mean to dump on you, but to die at 67 due to medical incompetence (including my own), is a bummer with 2 grand sons and 2 granddogs.
Wow youre a hot doctor for stating this
I'm in class right now about to cry so we just took a ten minute break and it's like GOD said Watch this video ...omg ty so much
If you teach professionally, they aren't paying you enough. I don't care how much it is. I am a teacher too and I LOVE what you're doing here!
you saved my life, where have you been all of my 19 yrs of Nursing!!! Thank you
19 yrs of nursing and u don't know the basics?
I am a Cardiac Cath Lab Nurse for 2 1/5 decades and Nurse for 3 + decades. Kudos to you Champ! This the one of the Best EKG video I have ever seen. Great job!
Why are you watching medical tutorials if you’re a certified nurse for three decades…?
maybe they were bored and came across the video? and just wanted to see how she explained it..? like.. out of curiosity..?😱😱 lol lawd @@CaptainRockoBD
Omg I wish I had this video when I took A&P in high school!
You are awesome! I worked in mechanical failure analysis in the automotive and trucking industry. I could troubleshoot failure in all kinds of mechanical devices. Sadly, the most important pump, I know nothing about! I suffered heart failure, have an EF of 15 and now I am educating myself on my condition. I am fascinated by the operation of the heart. I live by the creed "if you know how it works, you can properly maintain it and/or repair it." Thank you so much for this lesson, now I have a clear understanding of my ekg.
15 😲
She broke it down to where i understood so much more clear
I've been rumnaging through multiple ecg videos to understand the stuff, until i stumbled upon yours! Very smartly and lucidly explained. Pls keep posting such videos. Not everyone can explain the way you do.
So glad we were able to help. That is our goal when we teach!!
As a nursing student, this was so easy to understand and extremely helpful, thank you!
Brilliant presentation. Clear, simple, and effective summary of high-yield EKG basics. From one educator to another -- a huge "heartfelt" thank you!
I don't know how to thank you for the way you are teaching !!! Great job !!
I have just started the EKG program classes .I had a very bad confusion and hard time to interpret an EKG stripe ,but now everything is clear to me .I'm writing down every single of your words saying in the vide .It's been only the first video of you I watched .You don't know how excited I am to watch the next one .To be honest I feel like I got my motivation back after watching your video ...looking forward to see more videos from you 🌹
As a confirmed heart patient I can remember my first EKG, the rest having been lost in the fog of memory. Have no idea what those wavy things mean, Figure you make to big bucks to understand that stuff. I have, however, found you guys all have the same 'tell'. If you look at the strip more than 15 seconds there's a problem. If you have to do second strip, big problem. If you call in another nurse to look at it , it gets you a night in ICU!
I never got to see my ekg but the ER doctor looked at it and said “wow!”. Didn’t give me that warm fuzzy feeling. Was in the cath lab a few minutes later
By far the best resource, written or verbal I’ve ever come across for beginners. This was INCREDIBLE, and in such easy language in such a short, digestible span of time.
I want to say thank you so much for posting this!! I was born with congenital hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular arrhythmias. In all of my life (I’m 51 now) and meaning no disrespect to my pediatric endocrinologist nor the awesome team I’ve had for the last 7 yrs who specializes in my condition (the ones in between were awful!) but this is THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME someone has taken the time to explain an ekg in a way I, as a patient, can understand. Most is large jargon that goes over a patient’s head including when they post things in our patient portals, so we’re even more stressed and confused. So thank you very much!!!
Years ago my cardiologist got so fed up with me constantly asking questions about my own EKG results that he dedicated nearly an entire appt to teaching me what a generally "normal" EKG should look like.
Now I have fun confusing doctors with where I learned how to interpret an EKG strip 🤣
Tis the reason you have heart problems. 😂
@@lisameriedy No, it's Wolff Parkinson White, was born with it...
I love how you broke it down so smoothly. Thank you!! I understand it a lot better!
Such a great simple explanation! Thank you!!!
love this video!!! you explain this so well and clear, I feel much more confident now
about to start telemetry and this helped me actually SEE what i’m getting into and i appreciate it so much. makes it easy to take notes too!
This series is amazing! Makes me wonder why I didn't have instructors like this in nursing school where I was paying a small fortune for them to teach me! Incredible that this is free online - thank you so much!
Imagine
Great job young lady, thanks for a simple, clear explanation. Very helpful. Love you enthusiasm, keep teaching!
This literally was the best breakdown I’ve seen so far!! Tysm
Your videos are great for reviewing. Thanks for putting these together. Your knowledge and charisma make you a great educator!
Your videos are awesome! You know nursing like most of us know the back of our hands!
Everyone with a heart should listen to you. y9You're good & clear in your explanation.
DYNAMIC video. So clear, concise and thorough. I took an 8 hour virtual course and still lost. Thank God for your video😄
this is such an amazing, concise video. i have been doubting my ability to learn EKGs and you are helping me gain confidence! thank you so much
You're a boss! loved learning about how to read the EKG I didn't know anything at all! Thank u
WOW YOU REALLY BROKE THIS DOWN!! Thank you !!
Excellent job, I am speechless!!
I had one of these today after panic attacks, I was shittin it, everything came back good thank god
Hi Nichole, I have transported medical transport for 20 yrs. I have started Cardiac monitoring/EKG Tech in my local hospital. I want you to know how awesome your videos are. Ty for being you!! So thorough & easy to follow! So proud of you, keep the videos coming!
Thank you for this video. I’m in my first week of a tech monitor class and this was so helpful to break it down for me!
I’m just about to spend a week in heart care (final year student) after having most of my other placements in neuro. This is by far the clearest explanation of ECG interpretation I have seen. THANK YOU!
You are amazing! I’m on way to recertification and this is a lifesaver!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
ive got a pct cardiac telemetry interview this week and I took some great notes. Thank you!
Wow I am impressed this is the clearest EKG lecture!
I love your teaching so much Ma. This is the first video I am watching on EKG reading and I understand it perfectly. Thank you so much and God bless you.
I've seen some crazy EKG's while working in the Electrophysiology Dept as an admin. This video helps me understand it better. I start nursing school this Fall!
this was explained so well . emt basic here aspiring to paramedic. thank you!
Great job! Nicely done. It was quick and to the point. Kept my attention, didnt waste my time.
Thank you so much I’m in school and I’m having trouble with this. You helped me out so much
Currently training to be an EKG technician and this was superrr helpful, thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I've watched tones on vids on ecg and got more discouraged after each one thinking I will never get it completely. You just made it so easy for me. Thank you. God bless🙏🏾
Thank you!! You are appreciated 😊😊
Wow, very well explained, lots of great info. Yes, you are the BOSS!
This lady is great. Thank you so much for helping with EKG. not an easy thing..
Wow, you are an AMAZING teacher. I’ve been a nurse over 22 years and the way you present this material is so easy to understand. Plus, your enthusiasm makes it feel like fun!
Well explained,I had a tough time understanding EKG.Thanks, watching from Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲
Perfect!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You've gained a subscriber!
Wonderfully well explained!🌻
Best video I’ve been able to find on this stuff so far. Thank you!!
You are showing real science. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this was definitely the best video I’ve seen so far!!!
Thank goodness for this video! I can’t express gratitude enough!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Omg this is the best best video for ekg especially first time ekg techs, like myself😃. My first time in the health field Because I’m a teacher. But I want to get into the heart because I have respiratory issues and I have family members that had heart attacks. I’ve also wanted to get into becoming an health coach. I’m just so excited to learn and step away from the children & into health.
Thank you for such great understanding videos 🎉🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉
Yvonne
Don't worry techs only have to take it ..you don't have to understand it or do anything ..just hand it over ..easy
You Explained this literally like a boss lol, now I understand what my professor was talking about! Thank u so much for the help!
I’m an AEMT, my instructor said we’d never need to read 4-leads despite mine and others in distance 🤦🏼♀️
So here I am, this is great! Thank you
I love you! I'm not a nurse but I have an aortic valve replacement 30+ years ago and now getting a pacemaker, this is the exact video I was looking for to understand to be able to read my own ekg . Very Helpful. stay happy :)
I love this video Nichole is great at explaining this concept!
That was very good teaching. Thank you
YOU ARE GREAT! FINALLY I UNDERSTOOD EKG..😊
Thinking about taking the Ekg monitor tech course and was a bit nervous. You helped ease the nerves though 👍
I learn the horizontal line first, then vertical later next 🌟 I prefer the digital caliper vs the old school caliper. 🏆 Great video!
This is awesome. Now I am confident in passing my test 😊
FAN.TAS. TIC. Had what I thought was a heart attack while driving on the road the other day, ambulance called, gave me an ECG, said my heart was fine. But they let me keep the readout which was basically indecipherable to me until I watched your videos. Thank you! Knowledge gained! As a teacher, too (but not in medical!), your presentation was clear and so easy to absorb and listen to. I'm usually pretty good at understanding complicated concepts provided I have enough information, but this particular area...definitely needed a little more accessibility to truly get it!
Loved your explanation, can you do a lesson on setting up a pacemaker
This was great! You should have been my instructor. I learned more from this video than at school.
I know it! Some instructors just suck
I forgot to say that my husband bought me a Kardia portable device that can read like an ekg and even send it to my cardiologist and I never understood what it would show no matter if it was a smaller or a 6 lead read. Thanks again!!
Nice one, clear and well articulated. Keep up good work gal.
Great explanation! Thanks!
You are awesome! this video is the best I’ve seen so far
Could you tell us what the QT Interval should be? This is an awesome video. You explain so well. Thank you for posting.
OK! she explained the hell outta that!!! good job
6:56…
6 minutes…and 56 seconds…
One more time… ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
…6:56 and 🤔🤔😐 You explained what many took 2, maybe even 3 hours to confuse the heck out of a lot of us. 😂🤣😂 (and totally no disrespect to the professors etc) but WOW!!! You made that sooooooooo easy to understand & decipher.
🙏🏽 Thank you!!! 😁
I never comment on videos, this is perfect explanation and great teaching. ❤
Vertical measurments are usually .1 mv per small square/10mm per 1 mv, (not 1 full mv per small square). useful when measuring pathological P or other wave amplitudes. Enjoyed the stepwise approach in this series. Concise, and clear, good job.
Yes I agree
Really this video helped me thank you so much dear.
Bravo! Thank you so much for this great video!!!😃
best video out here , im jusr starting my ekg classes and this video helps me understand a lot !!!!
you are doing a wonderful job thank you!
im a nursing major at my college and i saw a lace near me is hiring for monitor techs and it would honestly benefit my studies and classes
Awesome! This was so helpful, thanks for sharing!
Very well made clip. Super easy to follow. Thank you.
Superb instruction!
This is so helpful thank you!
I've been having a hard time understanding EKG graphs and this was very helpful.
Feel free to ask if you got questions. Going on 9 years working with ECGs
Thk U Ms. Nichole. U r d best!
I love this video thank you so much🙏 you helped me through school
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a layperson with A-Fib/Flutter/BBB/Wide QRS - take your pick - and your video helped me make sense of my doctor's EKG strips as well as my Kardia 1-lead strips. You are amazing for what you do, and for how you teach what you do!
Well explicit ......love ur vibes too!
Thnks alot....simple.nd easy explanation
You know your stuff mate. Good video with a brilliant explanation.
This is great information! I am starting as an exercise physiologist in a few days and will need to know how to conduct stress tests using bruce protocol so knowing how to interpret these EKG's is crucial. Thank you so much for your videos as I will be studying off of them to prepare for this role from now on having not taken any prior EKG classes in undergrad!
Awesome glad that we could help :)
thank you so much your videos make the most sense to me
Very thorough and detailed explanation done efficiently and effectively.
Dr. Prince
thank god its so simple ..thank you
