How well do psychiatric trainees interpret electrocardiographs
A cross-sectional survey
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
The consensus statement by the Royal College of Psychiatrists recommended that patients on high dose antipsychotic medication receive regular electro-cardiographic monitoring to identify prolongation of the QT interval. A survey of trainee psychiatrists in three hospitals investigated the accuracy with which trainees could identify this abnormality and found only 20% could do so.
