ECG & Pharmacology 

Basic Arrhythmia Recognition Training (BART)

PDRE's ECG & Pharmacology Course - Basic Arrhythmia Recognition Training (BART) has been updated to reflect the current guidelines required healthcare professionals. This classroom-based, Facilitator-led course is designed to improve electrocardiogram (ECG) recognition skills and pharmacology knowledge for treating cardiovascular and other emergencies.

This course is for healthcare professionals who participate in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest, other medical emergencies in the pre-hospital and in-patient clinical settings. This includes personnel in outpatient clinics, emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care and critical care units such as physicians, nurses, paramedics, monitor technicians, students and others who require this specialized knowledge for their job.

Features:

• Basic EKG Interpretation
• Arrhythmia interpretation
• Only course available to focus on this critical knowledge
• Flexible instructional format with two units – ECG and Pharmacology – that be taught together or separately
• Engaging trainings and illustrations

Course Content:

• 12-Lead ECG placements
• Basic electrophysiology
• Normal ECG measurements
• Basic arrhythmias
• Extensive rhythm strip identification
• Responding to abnormal ECG rhythms
• Administration of appropriate drugs within the advanced life support algorithms
