Cardiac Dysrhythmias - The EM Boot Camp Course

Explore cardiac dysrhythmias in this comprehensive 33-minute lecture by Dr. Diane Birnbaumer, part of The EM Boot Camp Course. Master the approach to reading EKGs, understand various heart blocks including second-degree AV block type 1 and third-degree AV block, and delve into supraventricular tachycardias. Learn about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, including management of rapid ventricular response. Discover vagal and carotid sinus maneuvers, and gain insights into Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and associated tachycardias. Designed for PAs, NPs, and PCPs in emergency medicine, this lecture provides essential knowledge for practicing in modern emergency departments and urgent care centers.
