Hyperkalaemia: 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 does this ECG show? Look closely at the T waves.

Answer

Hyperkalaemia. Tall, narrow, peaked T waves and a slow rate. Check the potassium.
