Wear a splint. After a reduction of your broken toe, a splint is often put in place to support and protect the toe while it heals properly. Alternatively, you may have to wear a supportive compression boot, but either way, you'll likely need the use of crutches over the short term (2 weeks or so).
â¢ EKG (noun) The noun EKG has 1 sense: 1. a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph. Familiarity information: EKG used as a noun is very rare.
The EKG machine is then turned on, and the recording is made in just a few moments. The test is entirely painless.  Each of the heart's beats can be divided into three main parts. The first part is the small P wave which represents the atrial contraction. The second part is the tall QRS spike which represents the ventricular contraction. The third part is the large T wave which represents the relaxation of the ventricles. By analyzing the exact pattern of the EKG, doctors can learn a great deal about how the heart is working.
