Debiasing versus knowledge retrieval checklists to reduce diagnostic error in ECG interpretation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Advances in Health Sciences Education"
DOI: 10.1007/s10459-019-09875-8
Abstract: There is an ongoing debate regarding the cause of diagnostic errors. One view is that errors result from unconscious application of cognitive heuristics; the alternative is that errors are a consequence of knowledge deficits. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ccep.2019.02.007
Abstract: Owing to the rapid development of new electrophysiologic techniques, our understanding of arrhythmias and their underlying mechanisms has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, baseline ECG alterations can be identified before arrhythmia development; early recognition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)33861-4
Abstract: Ventriculo-atrial (VA) conduction can occur with ventricular pacing. This can lead to pacemaker (PM) syndrome which occurs because of AV dyssynchrony. In this setting, echo beats can manifest that make electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation difficult. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.nep.0000000000001078
Abstract: ABSTRACT Electrocardiography (ECG) instruction relies heavily on memorization of interpretation rules and lacks opportunities for hands-on practice. Consequently, nursing students struggle with ECG interpretation. In an online undergradute nursing course, we implemented interactive technology to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/tme.0000000000000461
Abstract: The predictive accuracy of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) machines is often challenged across all clinical settings. Emergency clinicians must beware of computer-generated ECG reports specifically during the initial medical screening process. Blindly trusting computer-generated reports may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-072097
Abstract: Introduction Although the ECG is an important diagnostic tool in medical practice, the competency of ECG interpretation is considered to be poor. Diagnostic inaccuracy involving the misinterpretation of ECG can lead to inappropriate medical judgements… read more here.

DOI: 10.1192/bjb.2022.87
Abstract: To monitor for drug-related cardiac arrhythmias, psychiatrists regularly perform and interpret 12-lead (12L) and, increasingly often, six-lead (6L) electrocardiograms (ECGs). It is not known how training on this complex skill is updated or how well… read more here.
