L05 Electrocardiography I

Experimental Objectives
- To become familiar with the electrocardiograph as a primary tool for evaluating electrical events within the heart.
- To correlate electrical events as displayed on the ECG with the mechanical events that occur during the cardiac cycle.
- To observe rate and rhythm changes in the ECG associated with body position and breathing.
Tasks Performed by the Student
BSL Lessons are designed to allow at least four students to record and save data in a normal lab period (60-90 minutes). Typically, labs work most efficiently with three or more students working together at each BSL station.
- Record Lead II ECG.
- Event mark each new activity.
- Lie down and relax.
- Take 5 deep breaths.
- Perform a physical exercise to increase the heart rate.
- Relax while heart rate returns to normal.
