Clinical Practice Radio - Episode 5 - ECG in Syncope

In this episode, the team is joined by Greta Hammer, a Clinical Lead Paramedic, to unpack red flag ECG findings in syncope. Greta has a special interest in cardiology and the nuances of ECGs, a passion that began during her years working under a cardiologist here in Perth, before transitioning to her career as a paramedic with St John WA. Since then, she has been involved in educating new paramedics and developing ECG tools tailored for the pre-hospital setting, all with the goal of enhancing clinical excellence in the field. Together, the team explores key warning signs that shouldn’t be missed and shares practical tools to help identify potentially life-threatening conditions. Greta also introduces a simple mnemonic – “ABCDE Left Right” – designed to make recognising these findings easier in the field. Whether you’re a student, volunteer, or seasoned clinician, this episode is full of valuable insights to elevate your patient care.  References:  EKG Library • LITFL • ECG Library Basics ECG – ProductiveMedic
