Accuracy of EASI 12-lead ECGs in monitoring ST-segment and J-point by nurses in the Coronary Care Units.

Abstract：

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:To confirm the accuracy of the EASI system compared to the standard 12-lead electrocardiogram, which is the gold standard, in monitoring the two major parameters used in the Coronary Care Units to detect myocardial ischaemia: ST-segment and J-point. BACKGROUND:Continuous electrocardiograph monitoring is used in the Coronary Care Units to detect cardiac conduction abnormalities and to show the morphology of electrocardiographic waves and tracts. Its accuracy is essential for efficient nursing vigilance, particularly for monitoring the ST segment and the J-point, in which alterations may indicate the onset of myocardial ischaemia. DESIGN:An observational study was conducted. METHODS:The enrolled patients (n = 253) simultaneously underwent standard electrocardiogram (10 electrodes) and EASI electrocardiogram (five electrodes). Data were collected by the Coronary Care Units nurses. Tests to compare differences in means and medians between the two sets of measurements were performed, and the Bland-Altman plots were used to illustrate their agreement. RESULTS:All 6·072 electrocardiographic leads (3·036 standard and 3·036 EASI) were recorded and analysed. Between the two measurement methods, very small statistically significant differences were found in some leads which are not clinically relevant for both the ST-segment or the J-point. CONCLUSIONS:This study confirms that the accuracy of the EASI 12-leadelectrocardiogram, compared to the standard 12-leadelectrocardiogram, which is the gold standard, is acceptable for clinical practice to monitor the two major parameters used in the Coronary Care Units for detecting myocardial ischaemia: ST-segment and J-point. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE:The EASI system ensures: (1) ease of use and comfort for patients admitted to Coronary Care Units because it only requires five electrodes; (2) increased efficacy of nursing vigilance in the early detection of changes in ST-segment and J- point measurements.
