Hi, I’m thinking about transferring to work in the ICU & I was just wondering what are some good tips for reading/remembering dysrhythmias on a monitor?

Learn your intervals, PRI, QRS, ST depression and ST elevation,Q T , R to R, figure out a way to relate the heart blocks to a situation ie: lady in rocking chair drops off the end
Understanding the anatomy , the conduction, is paramount… electrical and mechanical must be fully understood. Carry around a book of arrhythmias, and look at them frequently
