Details
This is a two-day certification program offered to nurses and other allied health care providers and professionals, who, directly or indirectly deal with the general concepts involving ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (ECG) in order to help and prepare them in their
pursuit of working in a Telemetry Unit, ICU or CCU.
The Advanced ECG: Premature Beats and Heartblocks certification program provides students with details on CG fundamentals, including but not limited to cardiac anatomy and physiology and the other different components of an ECG complex.
Taking off from the preparatory course - Basic ECG Interpretation, students are provided with simplified techniques that will enable them to easily recognize and interpret the varying types of dysrhythmias - these are the defining characteristics and psychologic mechanisms of ECG algorithms. A brief discussion on the use of artificial pacemakers is included to enable the students to know management limitations or restrictions for patients with pacemakers.

GTO is an international organization that was purposefully built to actively advance social responsibility with world-class educational programs that reduce disability and death not only in the Philippines, but worldwide. We have multi-level partnership agreements with the foremost scientific organizations in regards to Emergency Cardiovascular Care, First Aid, safety, disaster preparedness and stroke. Our courses are developed by the global leaders in each field promoting the best science, education and practical applications to produce optimal training and knowledge outcome Cognizant of the poor survival rates in the Philippines brought about by lack of training and education in saving lives, GTO makes it its mission to reach out to the remotest barangay in the country to equip the people – specifically those with no medical background but who are more susceptible to life-threatening scenarios, with the necessary tools (knowledge and skills) that would help them increase survival rates.
With its international profile married to local operations in the country, GTO fully understands the common challenges faced by the people in an emergency event. With such understanding, GTO has the ability to selectively apply international standards and practices to local scenarios and situations. Its international profile does not restrict its operations to non-local scenarios or situations. GTO develops appropriate learning solutions required by specific circumstances using international standards to ensure positive outcome. ...
