Cardiac Dysrythmias

Emergency Nursing

TermDefinition
AV Block (Heart Block) Problem w/ AV Synchrony: More P's than QRS'S, may have PRI > 0.20 sec or variable PRI
1 Degree Heart Block 60-100 beats or less w/ regular rythm. PRI >.20 seconds and qrs <.12 seconds. P:QRS ratio 1:1.(Looks like NSR but PRI is prolonged.
2nd Degree Heart Block Type I (Mobitz I/ Wenckebach) Atrial rate > ventricular rate. P to P wave regular, but R to R is irregular. PRI progressively increases until a QRS is dropped. Qrs <.12 seconds. * Longer, longer, longer drop-Wenckebach!
2nd Degree Heart Block Type II (Cllassical) Atrial rate > ventricular rate. P to P wave regular, but R to R may be regular or irregular. PRI.12-.20 or>,& constant. QRS <.12 seconds unless BBB exsist. P to QRS ratio may be constant at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 etc or variable.
3rd Degree Heart Block Atrial rate > ventricular rate. P to P & R to R wave regular. PRI varies and is immeasurable. If QRS is junctionally initiated then >.12 if ventricular then <.12 seconds. P:QRS ratio 1:1. P waves burried in QRS or ST segments.
Junctional Rhythms P waves inverted & occur before, during, or after QRS complex, depending on depolarization time.
Premature Junctional Contraction (PJC) Rate depends on underlying rhythm & it interrupts the underlying rhythm. If PRI is measurable it may be .12-.20 seconds. QRS <.12 seconds & P wave will be inverted if seen.
Junctional Escape Rate = 40-60 w/ a regular rhythm & PRI <.12-.20 seconds. QRS is <.12 seconds & P wave will be inverted if seen.
Accelerated Junctional Rate = 60-100 w/ a regular rhythm & PRI <.12-.20 seconds. QRS is <.12 seconds & P wave will be inverted if seen.
Junctional Tachycardia Rate = 100-180 w/ a regular rhythm & PRI <.12-.20 seconds. QRS is <.12 seconds & P wave will be inverted if seen.
1500 Rule Only works for regular rhythms. From P to P or R to R wave (starting with one that falls on a dark line).
Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) Must have a P wave. 60-100 bpm
Sinus Bradycardia Must have a Pwave. <60 bpm.
Sinus Tachycardia Must have a P wave. > 100 bpm.
QRS Complex Initiated by the ventricles. 0.06-.12. (1.5-3 small boxes).

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
