Learning to recognize heart rhythms for new ICU nurses
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a teaching method that uses real-life cases to help new nurses in intensive care units learn how to identify heart rhythm problems. It might improve their skills in reading heart monitors, which can be important for patient safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse who graduated less than one year ago.
- You currently work in a coronary intensive care unit or a cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.
- You are willing to take part voluntarily.
- You have not attended a formal training program on heart rhythms or ECGs before.

This study uses “deep learning” (a type of computer pattern-finding) to identify different heart rhythm problems. It looks at results from routine heart rhythm recordings and, in some cases, a more detailed heart test to better label the rhythm.
This study watches people who are hospitalized for an irregular heartbeat. It aims to collect information to better understand and manage arrhythmias. No new treatments or medicines are tested.
This trial tests whether a gamified escape-room exercise helps nursing students better identify heart arrhythmias in critically ill patients. It compares learning outcomes for students who already passed their adult health course.
This study tests whether virtual reality training helps nurses interpret heart rhythm tracings (ECGs) more accurately and confidently. If you're a cardiology nurse, this could help you learn a critical skill in a new way.
This trial tests if a special training program helps doctors, nurses, and assistants work better together in the heart intensive care unit. You can join if you work or train there and can use a computer or phone for online classes.
This trial looks at people who develop a new irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It tests an approach to help with that condition after critical illness, aiming to improve outcomes for those affected.
