| PVC sign | Apical/radial pulse deficit |
| Vtach on EKG | 3+ PVCs in a row QRS rate is 150-250 QRS is > 0.12 (wide) |
| Vfib on EKG | extremely irregular |
| Antidysrhythmia Classes | 1 - sodium blocker 2 - beta blocker 3 - potassium blocker 4 - calcium blocker |
| sodium blockers used for | VT, SVT, PVC, prevent Vfib (the ventriculars) |
| Examples of sodium blockers | lidocaine, procainamide |
| beta blockers used for | SVT, Afib, Aflutter |
| what do beta blockers do? | lower HR vasodilation lower contractilit |
| examples of beta blockers | atenolol, the -olols |
| what do potassium blockers do? | delay repolarization (increases PR and QT, widens QRS) |
| examples of potassium blockers | amiodarone, sotalol |
| what do calcium blockers do? | lower HR vasodilation decrease contractility |
| Calcum blockers used for? | SVT, Afib, Aflutter |
| Example of calcum blocker | amlodipine |
| What does digoxin do? | decrease HR increase contratility |
| What does adenosine do? | decrease conduction through AV node decrease HR |
| what does atropine do? | anticholinergic increase HR |
| What does magnesium do? | decrease conduction through AV node |
| what does hydralazine do? | vasodilation |
| what does nitro do? | vasodilation |
| Small box on EKG | 0.04 seconds |

| 5 large boxes on EKG | 1 second |
| 30 large boxes on EKG | 6 seconds (1/10th of a minute) |
| normal P wave | 0.06 - 0.12 seconds |
| normal PR interval | 0.12 - 0.20 seconds |
| normal QRS | 0.04 - 0.12 seconds |

| ICD candidates | syncope with Vtach/Vfib survived SCD spontaneous sustained Vtach life-threatening dysrhythmias |
| ICD teaching? | No MRI if it fires, call PCP if it fires and you don't feel well, call 911 |

| Kidney functions | Eliminate toxins regulate acid/base balance erythropoietin release |
| No renal function characteristics | CA down Phos up anemia metabolic acidosis |
| normal urine output | 30 ml/hr |
| kidney function (AFEVER) | A = acid base balance F = fluid/electrolyte balance E = elimination of wastes V = Vitamin D E = erythropoietin release R - renin releaase |
