Learn how to identify cardiac arrhythmia and get 1 free CSTE
Cardiac arrhythmias can pose substantial risks to patients, and sleep technologists are essential in identifying these abnormalities during sleep studies. In this free webinar on Tuesday, March 18th at 1 PM CT, Kristina Weaver, EMT-P, RPSGT, Executive Director of Population Health and Care Transitions, Parrish Medical Center, will provide sleep technologists with the knowledge and tools to recognize cardiac arrhythmias during sleep studies, emphasizing the importance of early detection for patient safety and care.
The webinar qualifies for one FREE CSTE credit, and will cover the following learning objectives:
Understanding Cardiac Arrhythmias: Introduction to common cardiac arrhythmias seen in sleep studies, such as atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and premature ventricular contractions.
The Role of Sleep Apnea in Arrhythmias: Exploration of how sleep apnea contributes to the development or exacerbation of cardiac arrhythmias, and how sleep techs can monitor for signs during a sleep study.
Recognition Techniques: Practical tips and tools for recognizing arrhythmic events from sleep study data, including heart rate variability, rhythm disturbances, and ECG patterns.
Assessment and Documentation: Guidance on proper documentation, reporting, and communicating suspected arrhythmias to the clinical team for further evaluation.
Collaborative Approach: Emphasis on the teamwork between sleep techs and cardiologists in ensuring the timely identification and management of arrhythmias.
Complete the form to register for the webinar. Registrants must attend the webinar and complete the post-webinar survey to qualify for CSTE.
