Course Coordinator: Debra Ruckman, CPT, CMA Department Chair: Kelly Gray, M.S., R.N., C.N.E. E. Credit Hours: 4 Lecture: 2 hours Laboratory: 4 hours F. Prerequisite(s): None Co-requisite(s): PHLB1110, PHLB1210, PHLB1250 G. Syllabus Effective Date: Fall, 2012 H. Textbook(s) Title: The Only EKG Book You Will Ever Need Author(s): Malcolm Thaler Copyright Year: 2009 Edition: 6th ISBN #: 978-1605-4714-02 I. Workbook(s) and/or Lab Manual: None J. Course Description: This course provides students with the basic knowledge and skills to perform an electrocardiogram (EKG). It also introduces basic cardiac arrhythmias and medications used to treat them. After completion of the course, students are eligible to take a national certification exam. K. Core Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes Communication – Written Communication – Speech Assessments - - How it is met & When it is met All listed assignments are graded Written simulation and chart documentation throughout the term Oral lab simulation of patient interaction, lab checkoff weekly during the term ELKG1110 Electrocardiographic (EKG) Technician Master Syllabus Page 2 Core Learning Outcomes Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Critical Thinking Information Literacy Computation L. Assessments - - How it is met & When it is met All listed assignments are graded Calculate cardiac rates, medication dosage calculation, on midterm and final examinations Course Outcomes and Assessment Methods: Upon successful completion of this course, the student shall: Outcomes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. M. Describe the anatomy and physiology of the Cardiovascular System Define EKG Terminology and Procedures Successfully apply Leads Describe function of MAC/5000 Describe the electrophysiology of the heart Identify characteristic of normal cardiac rhythms Identify abnormal cardiac rhythms Identify medications and calculate proper dose to treat cardiac ventricle and atrial arrhythmias Assessments – How it is met & When it is met Midterm and final examinations Midterm and final examinations Laboratory demonstration check-off, weekly Midterm and final Exam, Laboratory demonstration check-off weekly Midterm and final examination Midterm and final examination Midterm and final examination Midterm and final examination Course Topical Outline: 1.
