Electrocardiogram (ECG)

A help in Need!!

Clinical monitoring is an important ingredient of an anaesthetic care, the purposes of an ECG monitoring are for detection of abnormal cardiac rhythm during anaesthetics, early warning of abnormal physiologic changes that may follow especially the changes in haemodynamics, and also for the detection of problem of coronary circulation leading to a change in ST segment change.

Cardiac arrhythmias are considered as perioperative cardiac morbidities especially if it happens for the first time in your patient, you have to look for each algorithm one by one for appropriate management ranging from intravenous medication to cardioversion and then defibrillation. In a patient care you are also in need to learn more about the cardiac risk evaluation especially for patients scheduled for non-cardiac procedure, so that an appropriate management is delivered to them.
