ICU ECG practice
ECG Foundations Cases
Diagnosis choice + why choice. No free-text interpretation. Case titles do not reveal the answer before you open them.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Routine ICU admission ECG in a hemodynamically stable adult.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Fever and pain with a regular pulse around 125/min.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Sedated ICU patient with a regular pulse around 48/min and preserved blood pressure.
ECG diagnosis challenge
The monitor alarms for a very fast rhythm while the patient is awake, speaking, and has a palpable regular pulse.
ECG diagnosis challenge
A shivering patient has a noisy ECG but a stable pulse and normal arterial waveform.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Pre-procedure ECG in a stable adult with no cardiopulmonary symptoms.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Hypovolemia with a regular narrow-complex rhythm around 115/min.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Postoperative patient with a regular narrow-complex rhythm around 52/min.
ECG diagnosis challenge
During transport, the tracing becomes chaotic while pulse oximetry and arterial pressure remain regular.
ECG diagnosis challenge
Rigors produce rapid baseline oscillation across limb leads, but QRS complexes continue at a normal rate.
