Description

General Objective

Identify fast, slow, or conduction disturbances, making a difference in the survival of a person at high risk of lethal arrhythmias.
Recognize in a short time an electrocardiographic rhythm and understand the signs and symptoms of hemodynamic instability.
Determine the immediate treatment of bradycardia, tachycardia or the most serious that the healthcare team may face, cardiorespiratory arrest.

Addressed to:

Aimed at Health Professionals (Physicians, Nursing, Kinesiology, Obstetrics), Higher Level Nursing Technicians, Students of Health careers in their last year of study who have basic knowledge of the health area.
