EKG Concepts Rapid-Cardiac Arrhythmeia Tool

A Four-page, Double-sided, Laminated Tool that Folds Out to Reveal 41 Six-second EKG Strips:

The correct identification and interpretation of EKG rhythm strips is a vital skill for any Healthcare Practitioner providing care to a cardiac monitored patient. In addition to the 41 rhythms of rate, conduction and pathology of origin, the R-CAT displays the Anatomy of the Heart and all the components of the Cardiac Electrical System.

Improves Patient Outcomes:

Healthcare providers can quickly compare actual EKG strips side by side with the R-CAT rhythm strips. When integrating the clinical assessment of the patient with the correct EKG rhythm, medical personnel can initiate proper treatment, save valuable time, reduce critical errors and improve patient outcomes.

Versatile and Convenient:

• • The R-CAT can be used and stored in a number of ways in a clinical setting or on an emergency vehicle.


• • It comes 3-hole punched to be put in a binder, attached to equipment with an O-Ring, or carried on a clip board by medical personnel.

An Excellent Educational Tool:

• • Below each of the R-CAT 6-second strips the criteria for identififying the EKG rhythm is defined.


• • The R-CAT's easy to use format and laminated surface makes it an excellent investment for instructors, students, schools, and monitored hospital units.

Reusable:

When used with a black dry erase marker (black only) intervals and wave forms can be marked to identify the criteria associated with each of the cardiac rhythms. Then with a dry cloth or tissue, the R-CAT’s surface can be wiped clean to be used again and again. The R-CAT can be repeatedly used to educate patients, families, Healthcare Providers, or students, making it a cost effective investment for clinical settings, EMS services, In-service departments, and schools.
