CORRECTION: 2:26 The summary should read Lead I negative and aVF positive for RAD. The audio and graphic are correct.

For clarrification ONLY…is Present of u wave indicates hypothermia or HYPOKALEMIA? Thank you
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Love the way you explain your reasoning and thought process for interpreting the ECG waveforms!! ECGs rock!
Concise and to the point Thanks a lot ,will be sharing this❤
Thank you, very much appreciated!
Reading everyone else's comments about how helpful this was, and I usually agree. But damn - everytime an ECG comes up I feel like my mind just slows to a crawl.
Sorry to hear! I found that practicing interpreting helped me pick up ECGs quite quickly, that may help you too. Good luck!
As a new and unexperienced nurse I always feel kind of lost and gives me anxiety not being able to understand a basic EKG, but for the first time I found this info so clear, that with little study and practice I will be able to identify anomalies. Thanks so much for this video, already subscribed to the channel, very good topics in it.
Very happy to hear the video was useful to you, thank you so much for subscribing and best of luck with your work 😊
I like the infographics, it’s very useful. Thank you.
Outstanding video! Came here as a refresher. Back in school for NP and this was a perfect way to get back into the learning environment. I learned more from your concise video than I did in class. Thank you!
Agreed! This is a great approach/ thought process for interpreting the ECG waveforms. If you're still diving into ECGs, check out some of my videos as well to see if they help 💪
Man, you’re a life saver. Thank you
You're very welcome 😁
great video for beginners! thanks for the effort
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done,best wishes from Wales 🏴
Great video. I'm 7 months into the ED as a nurse and love it. I will say that most of our techs and nurses do Not care about lead placement and just slap them on wherever. Basically the leads 3-6 will be touching and in a straight line. Yikes.
Thank you, and good luck with ED :)
I've purchased and red a book called 'ECG made Easy'. However I never found it easy. You sir, just made it easy. Tqvm
I'm glad to hear it's made things easier, best of luck!
THANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL CONTENT !
Well simplified ! Thank you
A challenging one to condense! Thanks for watching 😊
Much appreciated video. Thank you!
Thank you, glad it was useful 😊
Really helped me set up my report💯. Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you ! Very well explained
Thanks!
Very useful video for med students!
Thank you!
as usual, you have saved me. thank you so much
😎 Best of luck Joshua!
Thank you so much sir!
Best ECG basics revision video I have ever seen hats off brother
Really appreciate the feedback, thank you 🙂
@@RhesusMedicinegreat explaination
very useful for medical students. Thanks
You're welcome 😁
very well done. thank you!
You're very welcome 😁
Good video and explanation. Thanks
Glad it was useful!
The best video ever about EKG
Thank you! Really happy it helped 😁
Thank you so much for this!❤
You're welcome!
Thank you!
Very informative!
Glad it helped!
amazing thank you!!!
Awesome video, thanks from Iraq 🇮🇶
Right Axis deviation is incorrect. That’s actually Left Axis deviation. Hopefully it didn’t confuse a lot of people
This is so impressive, im subscribing to you....thanks rhesus
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
thank you
Great video.
Thank you 😊
Helpful
Very lovely🤩
Thanks.❤
Thanx alot
Good explanation❤❤
Thank you 🙂
Brilliant!!!!!
Thank you!
Just a correction @2:27 you write RAD if lead 1 positive and AVF negative. This should be the other way around.
Hi Areeb, the correction has already been pinned! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Thank youu so much
You're very welcome 😊
Looks great! What do you use for your presentations/vids? Dunno what to call it, but you write it by hand, don't ya?
Thank you! I use One Note, and yes I do write them by hand :)
Can the EKg taken with out papers in the machine then they print the result later.
Sir does the ST segment mean start or end of ventricular depolarisation. Because I got confused it with QT segment
Awesome
Thank you!
How do you make the content for the video?
3:51 do you have another method because not all ecg show 50 squares to count.
Axis is _30 +90. Will Marrow for Bundle Branch Block, or Rabbits ears❤
great video, small mistake on the axis deviation bit though please fix
Thanks Emmanuel, I've pinned the correction in the comments 😊
@2:26 when you are explaining about RAD... you have written lead 1 as( +ve) and aVF as -(ve)...where as in your explanation you said the opposite. Please correct that
You are right, well spotted. I'll pin the correction, thanks for pointing it out!
At 2:27 you wrote wrong it should be lead I - negative and avF - positive
tq
👍😁
You will observe a spike on ECG, pacemaker❤.
One more correction:For irregular rate it's no of qrs in 6 sec × 10
why shouldn't we check the lead II for RAD? why do we only check it to ensure the LAD?
You can work out the axis based on many different combinations of leads, what I've included here is just one way 😊
Really appreciate the video, but the axis. slide is backwards
❤
can we get this notes in pdf format?
Hi! I'm working on creating PDF/Note forms of the videos :)
❤❤
Youve made a mistake about RAD. IT says here lead I is positive and aVF -ve, when it's the other way round.
traduzir para o porugues
there has to be a simpler way to read it
There is a mistake at 2:13 for RAD. You say if Lead I is negative, but wrote positive and the same with aVF, you said positive but wrote negative. Great video otherwise.
Thanks for pointing it out! Has been pointed out before, correction also pinned. Thanks again!
You started talking about axis without explaining it
Theres literally a diagram on screen as he mentions it… The purpose of the vid is to be able to interpret ecg not how the different leads are derived. You could say the same for anything else he said. ‘he started talking about the heart without explaining what it is🥺’
@@option2303 - little aggressive 😂
@@option2303 well that would help for beginners, and your comment was completely unhelpful and aggressive.
also found a mistake. v4 is underlined at 1.03 when he is discussing the lateral view of the heart. this is wrong.
You are a Gen Z!! Tell me I’m wrong!!
Anyone else not get the "William Marrow" thing he threw in there and didn't explain lol
WiLLiaM MaRRoW. -"W" in V1 and "M" in V6 for Left Bundle Branch Block -"M" in V1 and "W" in V6 for Right Bundle Branch Block. 😉
Explanation is very fast...not good for those who has intermediate level of english
Sorry to hear that. There is an option to change the playback speed to a but slower which may help? Thanks for watching 🙂
too fast, didn't explain the concept of axes. Lost me 2 minutes in. I'll go an look for something even more basic I guess.
Sorry Chiara! Maybe slowing down the playback may help, or if you're very fresh to ECG it would probably help looking at the way they function before interpretation. Once you've got that it'll be a good place to come to cover general interpretation. Good luck with your learning! 😊
This video is full of confusion
worst video of all time worst than my lecture
Thank you!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you!
