Interpreting ECG results in neonates involves understanding the unique characteristics of the neonatal heart. Key factors to consider include:
- Heart Rate: Normal heart rate ranges for neonates differ from older children and adults. - P-Wave and QRS Complex: The size and shape of these waves can indicate various heart conditions. - ST Segment and T-Wave: Abnormalities in these areas can suggest issues like myocardial ischemia or electrolyte disturbances.
