14:00-15:00 - The secrets of sinus rhythm: from basic to advanced ECG interpretation
What is sinus rhythm? This basic question is missing from ACLS algorithms and often wrong on computer interpretations, leading to errors from arrhythmias to infarcts and from Wellens syndrome to Brugada syndrome. Join Dr. Jesse McLaren, from the ECG Cases blog and the HEARTS ECG course, to unlock the secrets of sinus rhythm and 10 ways this can help improve your ECG interpretation.
15:00-16:00 - Crash course to success in Emergency Medicine
Want to excel on shift? Senior residents share their perspectives on what makes an outstanding learner, how to nail your case presentations, tighten your communication during consults and handover, and manage your time re-assessing and picking up new patients.
