[Audio] Good morning everyone, We will be discussing Electrocardiography and its components, what it can detect, and the preventive maintenance steps that need to be taken when operating an ECG machine. Those are the topics we will be exploring in this presentation. So let's get started!.
[Audio] An electrocardiogram is a medical test used to assess the heart's electrical activity. It can diagnose conditions such as coronary artery disease or arrhythmias, and is a key element in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and other cardiac disorders..
[Audio] An electrocardiogram, or ECG, is a medical test that measures the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the chest. It is used to detect many different types of heart conditions, including arrhythmias, which are irregular or abnormal heartbeats. ECGs can also be used to identify the cause of chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness, and are an effective way to detect any potential heart issues..
[Audio] An Electro-cardiogram (E C G ) is a diagnostic tool used to record the electrical activity of a person's heart. It contains three components which track the electrical activity as the heart pumps blood: the P-wave, the QRS Complex, and the T-Wave. The P-wave corresponds to the atrial depolarization, the electrical message that tells the atria to contract and push blood into the ventricles. The QRS Complex follows and is associated with the ventricles depolarizing, meaning that the electrical message is sent to them to contract and pump blood throughout the body. Lastly, the T-Wave is the third component of the cycle and corresponds to the electrical message that tells the ventricles to re-polarize..
[Audio] The electro-cardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool used to measure electrical activity of the heart. It is possible to observe the P wave, the fastest type of seismic wave and the first to arrive at the seismic station or sensor, with this tool. This wave is created by the contraction of the atrium and is able to travel through the interior body. Knowing the components and their functions of ECGs can aid medical professionals in diagnosing heart rhythm problems..
[Audio] The electrocardiogram (E C G) is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart and the slide we are looking at illustrates it. It is composed of several waves, the most prominent being the QRS complex. The Q wave is the first negative deviation, followed by the R wave which is a positive or upward deviation and the S wave which is the following negative deflection..
[Audio] The T wave is an important component of the electro-cardiogram, or ECG for short. It indicates when the ventricles of the heart have been fully repolarized, which is shown by the apex of the T wave. The interval between the start of the QRS complex and the apex of the T wave is known as the absolute refractory period. Additionally, the last half of the T wave is referred to as the relative refractory period or vulnerable period..
[Audio] Cleaning the ECG machine and its accessories regularly is the first important step for its proper maintenance and functioning. Secondly, check the machine for any loose connections or wires, as well as for any signs of wear and tear. Thirdly, look for any signs of corrosion, overheating, electrical interference, software, or hardware malfunction. All these steps will ensure a safe and reliable ECG machine..
[Audio] Examine the Electro-cardiogram or ECG machine carefully to ensure no signs of dust or dirt accumulation, water damage, physical damage, improper calibration, operation, storage, use or maintenance are present, as these could potentially compromise the reliability and accuracy of the ECG results..
[Audio] Slide 10 of this presentation is about the probe type, calibration and parameters of an Electro-cardiogram machine. This is an important step in monitoring the condition of a patient’s heart and their overall health. The probe type records the electrical activity in the heart, which is then output to the ECG machine. Calibration is used to check the accuracy of the ECG machine and its accuracy is essential in monitoring a patient's heart rate. Parameters are used to adjust the settings of the machine and can vary depending on the patient, their condition and the type of ECG being conducted..
[Audio] An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test used to measure the rate and regularity of a heartbeat. It evaluates three parameters: tachycardia (accelerated heart rate), bradycardia (slowed heart rate), and sinus rhythm. Tachycardia is defined as a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute, bradycardia as less than 60 beats per minute, and sinus rhythm typically ranges between 60 -100 beats per minute. The ECG is a key tool for diagnosing heart rhythm abnormalities..
[Audio] Good morning everyone! Today I will be talking about the Electro-cardiogram, or ECG. In this presentation, we will go through the process of hands on PMS and calibration of ECG machines. We will also discuss the 1040 patient simulator, the defibrillator analyzer, and the cleaning materials, such as rugs, disinfectant solutions, and wipe outs. Finally, we will look at the parameters of PMS forms, which has a tolerance of +/- 10%. Thank you all for listening, and for your interest..
