Westmead Trauma Algorithm vs Paediatric ECG

PURPOSE The Westmead Hospital Trauma Clinical Algorithms have been developed utilising evidence-based information to enhance patient and clinical decision-making and improve efficiency in delivery of safe, standardised health care. INTENDED AUDIENCE The algorithms presented are intended primarily for health professionals and the following audiences, specifically at Westmead Hospital, Sydney NSW Australia: Physicians, nurses and other health care professionals Health care administrators Researchers OTHER AUDIENCES INCLUDING PATIENTS If you are a patient and accessing these algorithms, you should understand that the information presented is designed for the use of the expert audiences, identified above. You should seek assistance from your health care professional in interpreting these materials and applying them in individual cases. MEDICAL ADVICE The algorithms are evidence-based processes that are intended to assist physician and patient decisions regarding the health care of trauma patients at Westmead Hospital. Although designed to standardise decision plans for trauma, the algorithms cannot address the unique needs of each patient or the combination of resources available to a particular community or health care professional. The algorithms are not entirely inclusive or exclusive of all methods of reasonable care that can result in the same outcome. Deviation from these algorithms may be justified by individual circumstances. The use of these algorithms outside Westmead Hospital must be applied based on individual patient requirements using expert, professional judgment. DISCLAIMERS The algorithms are for use specifically at Westmead Hospital, NSW, Australia. The creator and contributors to these algorithms do not assume any legal liability or responsibility for the use/application or resulting outcomes thereof these guidelines, both within or outside Westmead Hospital. Westmead Hospital does not assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and/or clinical efficacy of these algorithms.

Paediatric ECG is an educational reference tool designed to help medical students, junior doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals build real confidence in interpreting paediatric electrocardiograms. The app does not automatically interpret ECGs for you. Instead, it teaches you how to do it yourself through a structured, systematic approach grounded in evidence-based clinical guidelines. Each step explains what to measure, how to measure it, and what it means clinically. LEARN STEP BY STEP Work through a 12-step interpretation framework covering heart rate, rhythm, QRS axis, P waves, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T waves, QTc interval, voltage analysis, and U waves. At every step, you enter your own measurements and receive immediate feedback based on age-specific normal ranges. KEY FEATURES • Age-Specific Normal Values: All reference ranges automatically adjust based on the patient's age in years or months • Guided Interpretation: Each step includes measurement instructions, clinical context, and differential diagnoses to build your understanding • Findings Summary: Generates a comprehensive summary with normal, warning, and critical indicators based on your entries • Pattern Recognition: Helps you identify possible diagnoses including RVH, LVH, RBBB, LBBB, Long QT syndrome, WPW, ASD, pericarditis, electrolyte disturbances, and more • Quick Reference Guide: Built-in reference covering common ECG parameters, hypertrophy criteria, bundle branch blocks, arrhythmias, and critical red flags • Fully Offline: All content and calculations work without an internet connection • No Account Required: Open the app and start immediately • Privacy Focused: No patient data is collected, stored, or transmitted IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER This app is intended for educational purposes only. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision support system, and it has not been approved or cleared by any regulatory authority. It does not provide medical advice and must not be used as a substitute for professional clinical judgment, formal medical training, or specialist review. All ECG findings must be interpreted in the context of the patient's full clinical presentation by a qualified healthcare professional. The developers accept no liability for clinical decisions made based on the use of this app. If you are concerned about a patient, always seek senior or specialist review.
