Question

Think about the course material on basic EKG interpretation related to rhythms and AV blocks. Consider this:

• What are your top three challenges for learning this material?
• How do you think you can better understand or overcome the challenges?

Answer 1

3 Challenges for learning materials

1. Interpretability
2. Efficiency
3. Multi-modal Data

How to overcome the challenges

• Improve the students interest in learning the EKG and their recognition of the importance of studying the EKG.
• The basis of the clinical case teaching model, repeated practice, and summaries should be emphasized.
• Teachers should also strengthen their interdisciplinary knowledge, be more comprehensive in their work, learn from the excellent teaching experience of others, and constantly keep open their field of vision.
• Should try to use a variety of flexible teaching methods to improve and perfect their teaching ability, such as multimedia teaching and various forms of case discussions and illustration analyses.

The ability to inspire students imaginations and creativity is very important.How does one explain the atrioventricular block (AVB)Teachers could let students know that the PR interval period could be compared with the relationship between two lovers, with P and QRS waves,representing a man and woman in love. When a I degree AVB occurs, it could be understood as a romantic relationship in which some inharmonious ingredients have led to alienation in the relationship, as represented by the extension of the PR interval period in the ECG when a II degree and type I AVB happens, it could be understood as similar to a situation when the relationship between the two people has become worse making them quarrelsome, with them sometimes appearing to ignore each other, as represented by the PR interval period extending gradually until an omission of the P wave in the ECG occurs. When a II degree and type II AVB happens, it could be understood as a situation when the relationship between the two people deteriorates further. Although not quarrelling often, the couple ignore each other, and such a situation can be used to explain the fact that while the PR interval period does not change, the P wave suddenly disappears in the ECG. When a III degree AVB occurs, it could be understood as two people with no relationship, as the relationship has come to an end, similar to the way that the P and QRS waves are completely independent of each other in the ECG.
