ECG Interpretation Review #72 (Sinus Tachycardia in a Child - Juvenile T Wave Variant - Baseline Wander - Artifact)


The ECG below was obtained from a 6-year old child with carbon monoxide poisoning. It shows Sinus Tachycardia at ~ 135/minute. Sometimes even the simplest tracings make for excellent teaching/learning opportunities.
  • HOW MANY interesting aspects of this tracing can you pick up on? I describe 8 such findings in detail.
