Dede Rahman Agustian, M.Biomed. The participants are diverse, ranging from pre-clinical students, clinical students, to doctors.
In ECLIPSE we learned about the basics of ecg and how to interpretatiton ecg’s result. To interpretation the ecg there are 10 things that must be considered, there are : calibration, rhythm, rate, axis, P wave morphology, PR interval, QRS duration, QRS complex morphology, ST segment, and QT interval. Afterwards, paartcipants are given some pictures of normal and abnormal EKG to train participants.
ECLIPSE has a goal to improve the clinical skills of ECG interpretation for medical students and doctors. In addition, ECLIPSE also purpose to provide facilities for medical students to prepare themselves to become competent doctors.
