Question | Answer |
What are the 5 characteristics that make up each cardiac arrhythmia? | Rate, Rhythm, P-wave, QRS Complex, PRI |
What is the first question you should ask yourself when analyzing ECG strips? | Is there a P, Q, R, S, T on every beat? |
YES, there is a P, Q, R, S, T on every beat! Now what group of arrhythmia's hold the answer? | Sinus group |
NOPE, there isn't a P, Q, R, S, T on every beat! What should you do? | find out what is wrong |
If the SA node fails to fire temporarily, which arrhythmia do you have? | Sinus Arrest |
What is affected on the ECG tracing w/ an Atrial Arrhythmia? | The P-Wave |
What may a P-Wave look like w/ an Atrial Arrhythmia? | Premature, abnormal shaped, hidden |
What does the P-wave look like in Atrial Flutter? | Saw-toothed |
What is affected on the ECG tracing w/ a Junctional Arrhythmia? | P-wave |
What does a P-wave look like on a Junctional Arrhythmia? | Inverted before, during or after the QRS complex |
What does the F wave in A-Fib stand for? | Fibrillation |
If there is a premature beat every other beat, what is this called? | Bigeminy |
What remained the same in all sinus, atrial an junctional arrhythmias? | QRS Complex (<.12) |
If the SA node fails to pace the heart, the AV node takes over. What arrhythmia is this? | Junctional escape |
What is the rate when the AV node takes over? | 40-60bpm |
If your QRS complex is wide and bizarre- what is it called? | PVC |
If you have 3 PVC's together it is called? | triplet |
What is the PRI for all Ventricular Arrhythmia's | N/A |
If you have no distinguishable waves, what are you looking at? | V-fib |
If you have a semi to full flat line, what are you looking at? | asystole |
