How Simulation Based Training in ECG Benefits Nurses?

ECG is a depiction of heart’s electrical activity and is regarded as one of the oldest and simplest forms of cardiac investigation. This device is used by physicians, cardiac specialists, nurses and other healthcare staff to assess the disease of the patients especially in case of cardiac patients. It gives health providers an understanding of mechanisms, progressive treatments and effective ways to treat deadly arrhythmias.

In a medical facility where patients with problems related to heart are treated, ECG, commonly known as Electrocardiogram, serves as a vital equipment in assessing the heart’s condition. An ECG or EKG is a diagnostic test that checks for problems related to the electrical activity of your heart. At the same time, an EKG translates the heart's electrical activity into line traced on a paper with spikes and dips throughout the waves for the doctor’s or specialists to assess the condition of the patient. 

Healthcare professionals who want to develop skills and confidence in analyzing ECGs can join training courses and workshops especially designed for them. INSCOL Center of Continuing Education (CCE) is one such leading organization that provides one day simulation based workshop on ECG accredited by University of West London. The main objective of this workshop is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to analyze ECGs.

This workshop focuses on mainly ECG monitoring, traces and interpretation. It also helps participants to interpret the arrhythmias and conduction disturbances. Additionally, they become skilled to critically analyze normal and abnormal wave patterns, interval segments and QRS axis from rhythm strips.

Further, INSCOL CCE offers a wide range of courses and simulation based training tailored for Indian Nurses such as Birth emergencies & maternal advanced life support, airway management, advanced neurological assessment, advanced cardiovascular assessment, ECG made easy and more. Besides, hands on exposure on industry best simulation equipment participants have a unique advantage of earning International Certification from foreign universities while they study or work in India.
