Article Synopsis
  • ECG interpretation skills among healthcare professionals are often lacking, creating a need for effective learning resources.
  • A study involving 1206 professionals tested the effectiveness of web-based training methods, with participants divided into four groups: question bank, lecture, hybrid, and control (no resources).
  • Results showed significant improvements in ECG interpretation among those using learning resources, with the question bank and hybrid groups performing especially well, while the control group saw minimal gains.
