  • A simple explanation of how ECGs, or electrocardiographs, are captured. I've tried to make it easy to understand, but if you have any questions please chuck them in the comments below.
    This is part 1 of a forthcoming series - part 2 will explain how to read an ECG.

    Thank you for being a better teacher than our so called "highly trained" professors.

    Your channel is the best medicine content channel on CZcams. Truly appreciate all the effort that goes behind every video and building the 3D models on your website!!
    You are honestly a great teacher Ruben!!
    So blessed to have you :)

    Kindly consider making a 3d modle of the nasal cavity, especially the lateral wall, containing the middle meatus, infundibulum, hiatus semilunaris, bulla ethmoidalis, lamina papyracea, and osteomeatal complex .
    I have never understood all of these

    Can you please explain how electricity flows from the skin to electrodes (ECG) to make electrons move in the wire? Is it the electric field or some electrons jump from the skin surface move into the wire?

    I mean, are these machines reading mV signals??!
    How does the machine pick up such small electrical signals and not pick up noise from say.... power outlets in the doctor office?!

  • @Soneoak
    @Soneoak Před 2 měsíci

    Current is wrong, it’s a potential difference, when the potential change crosses the electrical midpoint between both electrodes, the potential difference decreases. The rate of change of potential is the same per the depolarisation speed, the r complex is completely wrong in your description.
    When it is half polarised, the potential difference it’s at maximum, when it is fully polarised, the potential difference is again 0.
