    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Education
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Interpreting electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm strips is a critical skill for cardiac consultants.
    • Field-based interpretation requires timely and accurate diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias and equipment issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a training module for cardiac consultants focused on interpreting telemetered ECG rhythms from emergency settings.
    • To enhance the diagnostic capabilities of physicians interpreting pre-hospital cardiac events.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of prerecorded telemetered cardiac rhythms and equipment problems were created.
    • Simulated rhythms were derived from "Arrhythmia Resusci Anne" and transmitted via ambulance radio.
    • Physicians interpreted ECG patterns and provided instructions, with response times recorded.

    Main Results:

    • The training module includes diverse cardiac arrhythmias and equipment malfunction scenarios.
    • Physician interpretations and response times were systematically recorded during the simulation.
    • Post-exercise review involved replaying rhythms and discussing each pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed training system effectively simulates field-based ECG interpretation challenges.
    • This method provides a valuable tool for enhancing cardiac consultants' diagnostic skills in emergency situations.
    • The simulation aids in improving the interpretation of both arrhythmias and equipment-related signal disturbances.
