First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 268 emergency and critical care nurses to see which teaching method—face-to-face, online, or a simple flyer—best improved their ability to use computer ECG interpretation. Nurses took tests before and after training. The goal was to find the most effective way to help nurses use this technology accurately.
