Why the study?
Accurate diagnosis of tachycardia requires a 12-lead ECG rather than relying on bedside monitor or single-channel defibrillator readings.
Does a 12-lead ECG improve the correct diagnosis of tachycardia compared to single-channel monitoring?

Does a 12-lead ECG improve the correct diagnosis of tachycardia compared to single-channel monitoring?
A 12-lead ECG is essential for correctly diagnosing tachycardia and should be obtained unless the patient has no cardiac output.
Clearly, treatment of this tachycardia depends on making the correct diagnosis.The diagnosis should not be made from the screen of the bedside monitor or the single channel of the defibrillator.To make a correct diagnosis of a tachycardia, the most important thing to do is to record a 12-lead ECG.Unless there is no cardiac output there is enough time for this most important investigation.So, a 12-lead ECG was recorded.
