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.
An electrocardiogram â abbreviated as EKG or ECG â is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heartbeat. With each beat, an electrical impulse (or âwaveâ) travels through the heart. This wave causes the muscle to squeeze and pump blood from the heart. A normal heartbeat on ECG will show the timing of the top and lower chambers.
