Background
One of the most stressful situations for family doctors who manage emergencies is dealing with acute
cardiac pathologies. Patients can be in critical condition and physicians are pushed to their limit,
challenging their knowledge, reaction times and clinical judgment.
J
The reality is a wide variety of pathologies to be aware of and often professional uncertainty and
varying ability in managing them.
K
This is especially crucial in health systems with small clinics and rural practices, with a lack of collegial
support and a growing population of elderly, fragile and multimorbid patients.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) has proven to be one of the most cost-efficient and sensitive resources
for diagnosing many fearsome pathologies, especially when the symptoms are ambiguous. Reading
and interpreting ECGs is an essential skill, capable of saving lives by diagnosing and differentiating
acute and chronic conditions at all stages of their evolution.
Methods
A meticulous analysis of clinical cases will be woven into a lively engaging gaming workshop format,
showcasing ECG traces of the heart rhythms most frequently encountered in daily practice.
Timetable
3'+2' Icebreaker/presentation
20' ‘So, ECG is hard, where do we start?’ A review of the basic methodology for reading a normal
ECG, broken down into simple logical steps for ease of interpretation will be made. Key concepts of
electrical disturbances will be highlighted enabling quick and accurate diagnosis of pathologies that
are often perceived as complex.
60' Game time: a quiz will be organised in teams of small groups with short thinking time and voting
by the spokesperson. Each answer will be explained first by the winning group and corrected or
completed by one of the expert members of the emergency medicine special interest group.
5' Key messages and prizes to winners.
Results/outcomes
Develop a working model of the emergency skills module (ESM) for the training of general practitioners.
