Question
Answer
Cardiac arrhythmias result from disturbances of?   heart rate, which result from disorders of impulse formation or disorders of impulse conduction(block)  
🗑
intrinsic rates of SA, AV, ventricle   SA-60-100, AV-40-60, V 20-40  
🗑
The dominant pacemaker of the heart   The fastest one, normally SA node. If it slows down or any other speeds up than the new fastest one takes over and becomes dominant  
🗑
P wave   depolarization of Atria(both)  
🗑
P-R segment   after atrial depol. elect impulse spreads to the AV node, bundle of HIS, and bundle branches...flat line recorded, from end of p wave to beg. of qrs complex  
🗑
PR interval   includes P wave and PR segment represents the time of transmission of elect. impulse from atria to ventricle  
🗑
QRS complex   Ventricular depolarization  
🗑
ST segment   end of the qrs to the beg of the t wave. Earlier phase of repolarization, of both vent. flat isoelectric line.  
🗑
J point   point where the st segment joins the qrs complex  
🗑
T wave   later vent repolarization  
🗑
QT interval   beg. of Q wave to the end of T wave  
🗑
What does each lead of an electrocardiogram record?   The difference in potential between the 2 connected limbs  
🗑
What are the bipolar leads?and where are + and -   I, II, and III Right arm(-) Left arm(+)foot(+)  
🗑
lead I   2 arms  
🗑
Lead II   right arm=>left leg  
🗑
lead III   left arm=>left leg  
🗑
how many frontal leads and how many precordial?   6 and 6  
🗑
___of the frontal leads are bipolar and ___are unipolar   3 and 3  
🗑
How do the unipolar leads work   connect all 3 extremities to a central terminal connected to an explorer electrode, place exploring elect on one limb it'll record the potential at the root of that limb  
🗑
on unipolar leads if the connection if the connection between the central lead and the explorer electrode is lost what happens?   The signal is amplified, which gives you avr(right arm), avl(left arm), and avf(left leg) (a=amplified)  
🗑
How many seconds are represented in a horizontal box?   .04second  
🗑
How many mV are represented in a verticle box?   .1mV  
🗑
T or F The only purpose of the R leg lead is to ground the system   True  
🗑
The Q wave is always____   negative  
🗑
The R wave is always___   positive  
🗑
The S wave is always____   negative  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V1   4th ICS R sternum  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V2   4th ICS L sternum  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V3   midway btwn 2 and 4  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V4   midclavicular line 5th ICS  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V5   level of v4 anterior axillary line  
🗑
placement of precordial lead V6   level of V5 midaxillary line  
🗑
Normal Sinus Rhythm   60-100bpm, each complex complete, and all intervals within normal limits  
🗑
Sinus arrhythmia   variation in HR synchronized with breathing, slowing with exp and accelerating with insp. All intervals except R-R within normal limits, complete complexes, 60-100 bpm  
🗑
Sinus Brady   <60bpm. all mcomplexes complete, all intervals except rate within normal limits  
🗑
sinus tach   100-160bpm, complexes complete and intervals in normal limits  
🗑
PAC   ectopic beat that occur in the context of other rhythms. Teh p waves are smaller or peaked and the qrs may be normal or conducted differently  
🗑
A flutter   rapid fireing of an ectopic focus, atrial rte 240-360bpm, no P waves, F waves instead, ventricular rate depends on conduction ratio (60-100)complexes incomplete, t wave buried in F wave  
🗑
A Fib   f waves uncoordinated fast atrial activity (350-600bpm)ventricular rate (100-160bpm)irregular R-R  
🗑
junctional Rhythm(nodal)   from the AV node 40-60bpm,no preceding P waves(from AV) retrograde atrial depolarization makes them inverted either before or after the qrs or not at all.  
🗑
SVT   160-250bpm complete complexes, p waves may be absent or buried in the preceding complex  
🗑
V tach   100-250bpm qrs >.12 sec  
🗑
1st degree AVB   PR int longer than .20sec (fixed), all coming from atria  
🗑
2nd degree AVB Type I (mobitz I/wenckebach)   PR interval lengthens until it eventually drops a QRS  
🗑
2nd degree AVB Type II (mobitz II)   PR int constant and normal.. some p waves not followed by qrs b/c complex is blocked  
🗑
3rd degree AVB   no relationship btwn p waves and qrs complexes atrial rate 60-100bpm, vent rate 20-40bpm  
🗑
T or F AV dissociation is a primary disorder   False, It is always a result of a basic disturbance in impulse formation or conduction  
🗑
In a pace maker I means   Inhibited- the charge is supressed b/c it senses the patients own intrinsic beat  
🗑
In a pacer T means   Triggered-  
🗑
In a pacer O means   none (DOO) has no sensing  
🗑
first position   chamber placed  
🗑
second position   chamber sensed  
🗑
Third position   response to sensing, if any  
🗑
#1 reason for pacer insertion   sick sinus syndrome  
🗑
VAT   Wire in the ventrical Atrial triggered, ventricular paced beat. always follow a p wave at a fixed interval  
🗑
Ventricular triggered   The blip is on not immed. before the QRS of a natural beat. If no qrs is sensed , the pacer delivers an impulse at the end of the interval corresponding ro rhe programmed rate  
🗑
