Blood, Sweat and Tears: A Nursing Survival Study Guide: Recent Episodes
Kendall
Have you ever wanted to study while going for a walk, driving, or doing household chores? In school I was on a mission to find a reliable, relatable podcast that I could use to study specific diseases, treatments, and nursing strategies. I couldn't find anything! So here I am, aiming to make information about anatomy, physiology, nursing and pharmacology more accessible. The intent of this podcast is to give listeners the ability to study and learn anywhere, anytime, while doing anything.
This week we explore normal sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia.
Let's explore the AV node! A discussion of heart blocks and arrhythmias caused by the AV node.
Intrinsic rate, the flow of current through the heart, and an overview of normal sinus rhythm.
