Module 13: Special Populations — ECG Academy

Context-first telemetry interpretation across age, body habitus, pregnancy, and post-procedure monitoring so expected baseline shifts do not hide true deterioration.

Lessons

• Age-Related ECG Considerations — Recognize how normal and abnormal telemetry patterns vary by age, especially in pediatric and geriat
• Body Habitus and Clinical Context Considerations — Use body habitus, positioning, and high-yield contextual clues to interpret the strip more safely wi
• Bariatric Patient Considerations — Recognize low-voltage trends, positional effects, and signal-quality pitfalls that commonly appear i
• Cardiac Changes in Pregnancy — Distinguish expected pregnancy-related telemetry changes from patterns that still require prompt esc
• Post-Surgical & Post-Procedure ECG Patterns — Interpret expected post-CABG, post-PCI, post-ablation, and pacing-related changes without missing tr
