[@ChelleWilson]

Thank you!! I needed to find a more simple way of calculating the heart rate for my exam tomorrow, because I just wasn't taking in the formula I had! Thank you so much for all the content you provide! :)

[@mohamedamer5640]

you worked hard to make this teaching video, and you deserve all appreciation

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+mohamed amer Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a kind comment. Best wishes in your studies!

[@MsEternalpeace]

Great job. Just a tip. Most ECG strips show a black line or a black arrow after every 15 squares. So if you watch that out from first black line to the 3rd black line is 30 squares (15+15) you can count R waves between those without having to actually cou t the squares.

[@amrabdallah9253]

it is me a medical student in the faculty of medicine in Egypt who want to study and work with a great prof like you

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Again, thank you for the comment! I appreciate it!

[@meirylove1940]

Thank you for this video I found it very helpful . Do you have a video on calculating the "memory method" as well as the "the block method"?

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Baby Meiry Thank you so much. No, I do not have a video on that right now =(. However, I wish you the very best of blessings in school.

[@lamulata1azuquita128]

Thank you Miss simple and easy :)

[@sandmoirben7177]

thank goodness for you and your videos! my GOSH !

[@nicolettewaite5664]

if there is not a P wave present, are you able to count the atrial rate?

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

If there is not a p-wave, you can't count the atrial rate...for example, this happens when the patient is in atrial fibrillation due to the atriums quivering which causes you not to see a p-wave.

[@nicolettewaite5664]

As is true for SVT, PEA, V-fib etc, correct? Do you have a video for measuring the QT interval? Your videos have been extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@Lovelycat563]

amazing

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Yay! I'm glad you liked this video as well :)

[@VivaLira]

Hi! Can this method be applied if I get ECG measured only during 5 second, speed 50 mm/min? Shall I multiply number of the beats with 12 then?

[@lambertovillamayor7501]

Thank you😀😀😀

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

You're most welcome! Thank you for the comment!

[@Sarah-gz9pu]

Thank you so much for this ! Really needed it (:

[@DanielSanchez-ct7lz]

You are wonderful, thank you for your educational videos! :)

[@carolinapalacios2533]

I have a question, so for start counting the little boxes , do we have to start with the first P waves that appears?

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Carolina Palacios Yes, you want to start counting where the first p-wave appears and then onward in order to count the heart rate.

[@carolinapalacios2533]

+RegisteredNurseRN thank u so much , I really appreciate all your videos I have learned very well

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Carolina Palacios You're very welcome :) Thanks for your kind words and for watching my videos. Glad I could help you learn!

[@sirjim777777]

I love you - for all your help ! I am in LPN School and you helped me in Pharm - with an "A" average. Now, I am in Med Surg - I need some help. I am coming to you - for this help. I also need help in Maternity (Baby Birth) class ? Can you help in that ? Thanks Jim...

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello Jim, Thank you so much for the kind message and for watching my videos. Here are all my current OB videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfXiZ3a-IbRaUJXMa8mXyuOL I hope to add more overtime.

[@wehttamak]

in between 30 of the large squares or 30 of the small squares??

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello Matthew :) It is 30 of the large squares. Here is an article that goes along with the video that explains it further: www.registerednursern.com/how-to-calculate-the-heart-rate-on-an-ekg-strip-with-the-six-second-rule/ Thanks for watching the video!

[@ladynottingham89]

I owe you a glass of wine girl.

[@niishanttkumaar2721]

You have done my work so eaiser through diagram very very thanks mam

[@alienoid4459]

why do u multiply by 10?

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Great question! You multiply by 10 because there are a span of 10 boxes with 1 second on the EKG paper. Therefore, when you count the number of r-waves within 6 seconds and multiply by 10 you get the heart rate.

[@giasilvermonroe2442]

all of your videos are sooo awesome! you break it down simply so I can understand it and you're so cheerful and bubbly. I hope I can be an RN like you some day ;)

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Aww, you're so kind :) Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos. I wish you the best in pursing your dreams of being an RN!
