Question | Answer |
The heart rate is 60-100 | Normal Sinus Rhythm |
The heart rate is below 60 | Bradycardia |
The heart rate is above 100 | Tachycardia |
The heart rate is 20-40 | Junctional |
The heart rate is above 160 | Superventricular Tachy |
P-wave is normal then gets longer-longer-then drops the QRS | 2nd degree Type 1 Mobitz Wenckeback |
Always a P-wave-The QRS is there then not there regularly.(pacemaker needed) | 2nd degree Type 2 Mobitz |
No regularity. Where the P wave and QRS fall. | 3rd degree AV Block |
Saw Teeth | Atrial Flutter |
Irregularly irregular No P-waves. QRS complex is less than 0.12 sec. | Atrial Flutter |
A Spike before the QRS means: | Artificial Pacemaker |
PAC stands for: | Premature Atrial Contractions |
PVC stands for: | Premature Ventricular Contractions
(very wide and ugly) |
PJC stands for: | Premature Junctional Contractions |
When one QRS is going up and one going down is: | Multifocal |
When both QRS goes up or down is: | Unifocal |
What is it called when QRS is side by side | Cuplet |
More than 3 QRS together is: | A Run of Vtach |
DO NOT SHOCK! No electrical activity. | Asystole |
QRS get little and long. "Twisting of Points" | Torsades de Pointes |
QRS has a "notch" may indicate a | Bundle Branch Block |
Cant have a Sinus Rhythm without a: | P-wave |
P-wave is: | Atrial Polarization |
QRS is: | Ventricular Depolarization |
T-wave is: | Ventricular Repolarization |
4 types of Atrial Rhythms | 1.Atrial Flutter 2.Atrial Fibrillation 3.Supraventricular Tachycardia 4.Atrial Tachycardia |
6 types of Ventricular Rhythms | 1.Premature Ventricular Contraction 2.Ventricular Tachycardia 3.Torsade de Pointes 4. Ventricular Fibrillation 5. Asystole 6. Pulseless Electrical Activity |
QRS is wide and fast. With or without a pulse | Ventricular Tachycardia |
Not common. QRS gets little and long | Torsades de Pointes |
Ventricles quivering.Pt. not breathing or have a pulse | Ventricular Fibrillation |
DO NOT SHOCK! Pay attention if no pulse. Look like normal rhythm. Heart has electrical activity,pt has no pulse | PEA-Pulseless Electrical Activity |
