Sarah from register nurse rn.com explains how to measure the PR interval on an EKG strip. The video covers the significance of the PR interval, how to measure it using the small squares on the EKG strip, and provides a practical example. The PR interval measures AV conduction time and should be between 0.12 to 0.20 seconds. The video concludes with information on additional resources and quizzes available on their website.
