Lead V6 is placed where? horizontal level of position 4 at midaxillary line
Augmented leads are recorded when? After bipolar leads
Which is not an electrode recording lead? RL
What converts cardiac arrhythmia into normal sinus rhythm? cardioversion
What is the electrical conduction system of the heart? SA node to Purkinje fibers
Deoxygenated blood enters the heart where? Right atrium
Define electrocardiogram record of the electrical activity of the heart
What part of the limb are electrodes placed and why? fleshy non-muscular part to minimize artifacts
What do you do after the electropad sensors are removed? Assist the patient
What lead records electrical activity between the right arm and leg? Lead II

What artifact is caused by electrical interference? AC interference
What artifact is caused by poor quality electrolyte gel? Wandering baseline
IS it important to point power cord away from the pt and not allow the cable to go underneath the table? Why? Yes because it could cause AC artifacts

What happens if the metal tip of a lead wire becomes detached from an electrode? interrupted baseline artifacts
What is not recorded in the holter monitor patient activity diary? name of the nearest relative
ECG reading that is within normal limits normal sinus rhythm
A catheter with a deflated balloon is inserted into which of the arteries during coronary balloon angioplasty? femoral artery
What is the coronary artery bypass? Saphenous vein transplanted to coronary artery
What small devices sends a small dose of electricity to jar the heart back into a normal rhythm? ICD
