Asystole: ECG quiz video

Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.

A 21-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.

Hint

What rhythm is this? What would you check before calling it?

Answer

Asystole. No electrical activity at all. Before you call it, check the leads, the gain and a second lead.
