You have a gift for teaching: explaining it simply, concisely, and speaking clearly at a moderate pace. Your visual aids are also excellent. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to viewing your videos.

[@RepublicTeaRoom]

Thank you soooo much! 23 years as an RN...never has this been explained like this.

[@ICUAdvantage]

This is really awesome to hear Melinda! Thank you so much and glad you liked it!

[@hferrell865]

I am currently studying and preparing for my Phlebotomy & EKG certification exam and this has been by far the best explanation of what happens during an EKG. I have watched other videos, bought text books, and not one of them explained what happens in the heart during each complex on the strip like this video did. I have tried for months to master understanding this and I finally can associate what I know in the heart with what I see on the strip from the patient. Very well done and Thank you so much!!!!!

[@ICUAdvantage]

This is so awesome to hear! I'm so happy that this helped it all click for you. Thats so great. Thank you Holly for taking the time to let me know this! 🙂

[@erickaharr1959]

Thank you!!! I feel the exact same. This video has helped me to put it all together as I begin my new job as a Monitor tech. Greatly appreciated!

[@shelleybravard5125]

This is so informative

[@shewash310]

Exactly

[@mia12345salman]

Wounderful😮❤

[@gracehug777]

At the hospital were I work, every year we have to take an EKG exam which can be stressful when working with patients that are stable and the only arrhythmia is controlled Afib, PVC's, Sinus Arrhythmia and Sinus Rhythm. So when this exam comes up, its stressful and we all have to brush up. I happened to come across your lessons and I am so GRATEFUL! I can't tell you how incredibly clear and informative, and just so easy you make every video seem! I can't tell you enough how Blessed I feel to have come across your instructional video's, SO BLESSED! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU!

[@joellebonhometre8544]

You have the best ECG videos on KZbin. I passed my ECG test and got a job as an RN in ICU. Thank you for your time and knowledge. You are an outstanding teacher. I will be watching all your ICU videos😁

[@ICUAdvantage]

This is amazing to hear Joelle!!! Congratulations and so happy to have been able to help in some way. I appreciate the kind words and wish you all the best. Lots of videos out there, so I hope you like them!

[@amiraleu7823]

I can’t thank you enough for how much you’ve helped me with my last semester clinical rotation in the ICU, I’ve watched everyone of your lectures and feel so prepared. Your channel is truly a gem. I am so lucky that I found you.

[@nellyrobii]

My NCLEX exam had a lot of ECG interpretation questions and because of this, I passed at 97 questions,thank you for this

[@namahshrestha3226]

A small correction at 4:05. I think you mean every 3 seconds. Since, every big box is 0.2 s and there are 15 big boxes between each dash, we get 0.2 * 15 = 3 seconds. But none the less, amazing video. Thanks a bunch. Learned a lot.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yup! Definately a slip on my part. Glad you enjoyed the video though!

[@ptamekia]

Thanks!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you so much Tamekia!!

[@estellacottercoaching]

Thank you so very much. I am studying for ACLS, and it's been 6 years since I've been in a position where I needed it. I really appreciate the line upon line, precept upon precept teaching. It's straightforward, understandable, easy to follow, implement and remember.

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

I'm brushing up for ACLS as well and it's finally starting to click! very concise and easy to grasp as it's been a while as well!

[@strangergranger10]

This is the easiest to understand explanation I’ve ever seen. Hands down, this is the best. 💯💯💯

[@nurselifewhit]

Such an excellent resource! I’m currently applying/interviewing trying to work my way into the ICU, and these videos have been so valuable in helping me relearn the science and details I’ve forgotten from school that will really help me have a good foundation for understanding more critical care concepts

[@AbelS12]

By far the best explanation I have ever encountered in my life. Thank you so much for the very easy understanding lessons for EKG.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@reyav6853]

Such a beautiful way of explaining the ecg strip. Thank you !

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad to hear this! Thank you!

[@blackbeanburger3357]

this by far is the best interpretation of ecg/ekg i've ever seen. recommended your videos to my old profs.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Wow, thanks so much for that. Really glad to know you found them so helpful!

[@ShadeTreeCardiology]

I dig this animation. I really need to learn how to use these tools for presentation. I'm so glad folks are out there trying to add to the educational content of youtube! Good on you! So happy to be part of this educational community.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thanks man! You've got some great content yourself. It really is amazing the amount of great information out there these days on such a simple platform to use. As for the animation stuff, its actually quite easy. Feel free to shoot me an email and I'd be glad to talk you through it. Side note, Army flag, NC hat, souther pines, I've got to ask... Bragg? Former 82nd here if so.

[@ShadeTreeCardiology]

@@ICUAdvantage I did do some time at Bragg. Not with the 82nd, though. Look's like we joined up at about the same time. I was at Bragg in '04, actually. I'll shoot you an email today.

[@binary964]

Thank you Eddie! I've been binge watching your videos, they're all great! It's nice to keep re-learning the things I've learnt so I don't forget them, and you explain better than my profs! Though I found watching your videos at 1.75/2x speed much better for my ridiculously short attention span haha

[@ICUAdvantage]

You are very welcome! You've got a LOT to binge watch these days lol! As for the speed, it's so funny because I hear many people on both sides... either I'm too fast, or I'm too slow. I certainly have heard others mention about speeding it up, which is awesome.

The times are for 25mm/s speed of strip going through the machine, it is standard mostly, but there are places on the globe where they do 50mm/s so it is 0,02s per small box and 0,1s for big box, just for comment-readers to know :)

Please fix or pin a clarification statement to the top of your comment thread r/t seconds: 0.2 sec. (per big box) x 15 = 3 seconds; 0.2 sec. (per big box) x 30 (or 2 sets of 15) = 6 seconds. The mistake causes confusion. Otherwise, good video. Thanks!

[@AshleyHughes-r6w]

I’m over here worried I’ll never understand ECG for nursing school and you have been an absolute blessing. My only confusion Is about ensuring you are looking at lead 2? Do you have any videos explaining that concept?

[@ICUAdvantage]

Great to hear the videos have been helpful. I actually get to talking about this in depth in the 12-lead EKG series that I'm currently doing. But Lead II is typically going to be a positive waveform and is generally the one that is best for basic rhythm interpretation as the other leads start to look different. Its just the classic view. It certainly can be done from other views, but is easiest and best from II.

[@saraherget5089]

The introduction music is a bop

I'm assuming you mean not good. If so, I agree and why I didn't keep using it!

[@xfunkyflipx]

where did the 300 come from for the big bix method?

[@rajeevreddy3315]

PR interval is it correct? Small doubt

[@arasenofworld]

6 sec 4:42 is right but I don’t think 1 and half sec for 15 boxes is wrong.. it’s 3seconds

[@prudentiaski]

Bomb vid.

[@woolleysara50]

Can I ask, why lead 2? Is that just for continuity of this video or is that where you would recommend to start your ECG interpretation? Thanks, great video!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Lead II presents in the most commonly referenced polarity and strengths that are taught. When you start looking at other leads, things are flipped and look different. Eventually you learn to read these too, but for consistency Lead II is the most commonly referred.

[@mstnasrin2132]

Love it

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you!!

[@rudramd89]

Quite fantastic way of teaching. What is the best method for rate calculation?

[@ICUAdvantage]

Honestly whatever is the easiest for you and makes the most sense. I like just counting the QRS's in a 6-second strip and then multiplying by 10.

[@rudramd89]

@@ICUAdvantage that method I prefer the most also. As a practicing physician I am well aware with drugs and diagnosis, but my only problem was correct ecg reading! Now I am reading them better than before after seeing the lecture. Really thankful to the channel and the presenter.
