What ECG interpretation / trainer Android phone app?
Discussion
Don't know if anyone might be able to help - but worth an ask I thought?!
I've just finished my first year's training as a Paramedic, and I am staring my final year in the face. I am happy that I am at a good standard at all the basics - but year two now comprises some pretty heavy detail on ALS drugs, and lots of ECG interpretation.
I would like to think that I can already spot the basics of abnormal ECG's - things like stemi's, L/R bbb, bi/tri geminy, AF, WPW and some heart blocks, plus the basic shockable / non-shockable rhythms like VF, VT, etc.
But I am obviously MILES away from being any kind of expert, let alone even mildly competent cardiology wise.
I was advised to get (as well as some study books) a phone app to help with ECG interpretation. However, I spent ages this afternoon on the Android / Google Play store, and there are literally hundreds of ECG apps - some free, some up to £80
So this is a very long-winded way of asking - does anyone have a good ECG interpretation app on their Android device, and if so, what is it please?!
TIA!

I do my cardiology placement in the next 10 days or so, I'll update if anything app related gets mentioned.
To be fair I haven't found anything outside of what you've mentioned of much use in a pre-hospital setting. I have taken a few people in that with ECG's that have had people much more qualified than me disagree on what exactly is going on.

Hi Ray,
I'd suggest that a book is better, or maybe a web based tool. It's a long time since I worked in cardiology, and I've forgotten most of it, I currently work in trauma / orthopaedics.
Have you tried ecgmadesimple.com ?

what's the definition of a double blind trial ? I'd suggest that a book is better, or maybe a web based tool. It's a long time since I worked in cardiology, and I've forgotten most of it, I currently work in trauma / orthopaedics.
