| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| SA Node | Dominant pacemaker with intrinsic rate of 60-100 bpm |
| AV Node | Back up pacemaker. intrinsic rate of 40-60 bpm |
| Ventricular cells | back up pacemaker with 20-45 bpm |
| what is normal impulse conduction? | SA-AV-Bundle of His-bundle branches-purkinje fibers. |
| what does P wave represent? | atrial depolarization |
| what does QRS wave rep.? | Ventricular depolariztion |
| what does T wave rep? | Ventricular repolarizaton |
| what is the S-T segment? | atrial and ventricular repolarization, should be at baseline, -Tall or spiked waves=Hyperkalemia,MI -elevation=infarction -depression=ischemia |
| ECG paper boxes | -Horizontally small box=.04s large box=.20s -vertically 1 large box=0.5mv |
| What is duration of PR interval? | 0.12-0.20sec |
| What is duration of QRS interval? | 0.06-0.10sec |
| What is duration of ST segment? | not elevated or depressed. |
| normal heart rate =? | 60-100bpm |
| bradycardia=? | <60bpm |
| Tachycardia=? | >100bpm |
| Flutter=? | >200bpm |
| fibrillation=? | Too fast to count |
| How do you estimate heart rate? | count the # of R waves in a 6 sec. strip and X by 10. Or do 300 ___ # of large blocks between R waves. |

| http://www.ambulancetechnicianstudy.co.uk/images/Flutter.gif | Atrial flutter 250-350bpm Tx:O2, digoxin, cardioversion, beta blockers |
| http://www.jewishhospital.org/myjewishhospital/images/CV-07.jpg | atrial fibrillation 400-700bpm chaotic and irregular rhyth. causes: hypoxia,ischemic heart disease, MI Tx:O2 digoxin, cardioversion, beta blockers |
| http://www.txai.org/img/edu/PVC.jpg | PVC. rate depends on underlying rhyth. P wave absent. Causes:caffeine, stress, alcohol,acidosis,MI, hypoxemia. Tx:O2, Lidocaine or Amiodorone. |
| http://www.cprworks.com/vt | VTach. Rate 100-200bpm rhythm regular. no P waves, causes same as PVc Tx: defib. if no pulse, lidocaine or amiodorone and cardioversion if pulse present. |
| http://www.learnekgs.com/V-Fib%20LARGE.jpg | V Fib Rate:NONE rhythm: chaotic pQRS wav: absent No cardiac output or pulse Causes: acute MI, untreated Vtach,hypothrermia, electrolyte imbalance, electric shock. Tx: Defib., CPR, O2 |
| http://www.rnceus.com/ekg/asystole.gif | Asystole Rate:none rhythm:none Confirm in 2 leads first, Causes: ischemia, infarct. hypoxia,hypothermia, drug od, acute resp. fail. Tx: CPR, epi, atropine |
| What is ischemia? | decreased blood flow to the tissue;depressed or inverted T wave |
| what is meant by injury? | Acute damage to the tissue often from ischemia; elevated S-T segment |
| what is Infarction? | death of tissue; the end result of ischemia or injury. |
