Determine HR from an Irregular-Rhythm EKG 6-second Method

The video tutorial explains how to analyze EKGs for regular and irregular rhythms. It introduces the 1500 and 300 methods for regular rhythms and highlights the limitations of these methods for irregular rhythms. The six second method is presented as a solution for irregular rhythms, with a detailed explanation of how to calculate the average heart rate by counting QRS complexes over a six-second EKG strip.
