Telemetry Strip Interpretation. We suggest you practice with these prior to taking the post test. To briefly summarize the components of a normal ekg strip it consist of components which indicate electrical events during one heart beat. Interpreting ekg rhythm strips u wave usually not visible on ekg strips if visible typically follows the t wave appears much smaller than t wave rounded upright or positive deflection is they are present cause or origin not completely understood may indicate hypokalemia. All strips are six second strips unless otherwise indicated rhythm strip 1.
Most ekg strips are 6 seconds the graph paper has a marking on the top or bottom to indicate every 3 seconds. These waveforms are labeled p q r s t and u. Interpreting ekg rhythm strips u wave usually not visible on ekg strips if visible typically follows the t wave appears much smaller than t wave rounded upright or positive deflection is they are present cause or origin not completely understood may indicate hypokalemia. You need limited supplies and tools to make this learning opportunity a success. All strips are six second strips unless otherwise indicated rhythm strip 1. To enhance ecg strip analysis we recommend you purchase hand calipers to determine heart rate regularity and all ecg intervals.
