2 Identify the 12-Lead Views Explain the vessels of occlusion Describe the three I s Basic Interpretation of 12-Lead ECG s

3 Normal limb lead placement should be on wrists and ankles. Circumstance/Standing Orders/Protocol sometimes prevents that. Consistency is the key for a diagnostic ECG. Misplacement by 1 rib can mask a MI or make a normal ECG appear as if there is an MI.

4 Limb Lead Placement

5

6

7 avr should be a negative deflection If avr is a positive deflection, check for reversed limb leads

8

9 Look for: Negative avr One complete cardiac cycle in each lead Diagnostic frequency response Proper calibration Appropriate speed

10 Paper Speed

11 Know what to look for ST elevation > 1mm (some say 2mm) Two contiguous leads Know where you are looking Use ACLS ACS chart as a reference (last slide) You will soon have this memorized

36 Ischemia Epicardial Coronary Artery Septum Left Ventricular Cavity Lateral Wall of LV Interior Wall of LV Positive Electrode

37 Ischemia Inadequate oxygen to tissue Subendocardial Represented by ST depression or T inversion May or may not result in infarct

38 ST depression

39 Injury Thrombus Ischemia

40 Injury Prolonged ischemia Transmural Represented by ST elevation Usually results in infarct

41 ST elevation

42 Infarction Death of tissue Represented by Q wave Not all infarcts develop Q waves

43 Infarction Infarcted Area Electrically Silent Depolarization Many infarcts do not develop Q waves

62 Practice ECG

63 ECG Evidence of RVI Inferior MI (always suspect RVI) ST elevation right V leads

64 Cardiac Blood Flow To Lungs From Lungs To Body From Body

65 Physical Evidence of RVI Dyspnea with clear lungs Jugular vein distension Hypotension Relative or absolute

66 Treatment for RVI Use caution with vasodilators Small incremental doses of MS NTG by drip

67 Fluid for Hypotension One to two liters may be required Large bore lines suitable here

68 Posterior Wall MI (PWMI) Usually an extension of an inferior or lateral MI Common with proximal RCA occlusions Occurs with LCX occlusions

69 PWMI Reciprocal changes V1 - V4 Indicative changes V7, V8, V9
