ECG: Beating the Basics E-Book
ECG: Beating the Basics – A Complete Student Paramedic ECG E-Book
Struggling with ECG interpretation? This student paramedic ECG ebook is designed to simplify the complex and give you the confidence to recognise rhythms, spot abnormalities, and document findings with accuracy.
Inside, you’ll find step-by-step ECG interpretation guides covering:
ECG lead placement and a lead reference chart
The cardiac conduction system explained simply
Understanding big squares vs little squares, intervals and segments
Essential basic rhythms including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias, PACs and PVCs
Heart blocks made easy: 1st degree, 2nd degree (Mobitz type 1 Wenckebach & Mobitz type 2 Hay), and 3rd degree complete block
Bundle branch blocks: right and left
Key conditions: benign early repolarisation, STEMI, posterior STEMI, inferior MI with RV involvement, NSTEMI, high risk ACS, WPW syndrome, and Brugada syndrome
Practical skills: documenting the ECG in professional practice
This ebook is packed with clear explanations, visual references, and clinical examples so you can:
- Recognise dangerous arrhythmias quickly
- Build confidence for OSCEs and placement practice
- Use structured approaches for ECG documentation and handover
Perfect for student paramedics, NQPs, and anyone learning ECG basics, this guide bridges the gap between theory and practice, making ECG interpretation clear, concise, and approachable.
