Week 9 EKG Index
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| SA node is also called | Pacemaker |
| recording lighter and darker | Sensitivity control |
| AVL is | Augmented or unipolar |
| SA node / found | Upper right atrium |
| Lead 1 is considered | Bipolar limb lead |
| injured from the EKG machine | patient cannot be injured |
| Depolarization refers to | Restoring |
| cardiovalvulotomy | Excision of part of a heart |
| heartbeat | normally regulated |
| Grounding EKG reduces | AC artifacts |
| court order | Subpoena |
| ventricles return to polarized state | T wave |
| sensors paste | A variety of artifacts |
| the heart is unable to pump adequate | Cardiac failure |
| cure for a patient and then fails | Breach of contact |
| Vessels carry unoxygenated blood | Arteries |
| label an EKG | Pt. name/date and time collected initials |
| SA node initiates an impulse | P wave |
| order are the waves named | P wave, Q wave, R wave, S wave, T wave |
| fat on the walls of vessel | Plaque |
| sympathetic nervous | Increases the heart rate |
| Cardio-valvulitis | Heart valves |
| atria | Receiving blood |
| term describing circulation of blood | Vessels |
| determine the rate/ 12 lead EKG | a 6-inch strip |
| code blue emergency | Record one lead only |
| AV node/ stimulated next | Bundle of His |
| small wave/ between the T wave and P wave | U wave |
| U wave | sometimes seen/ electrolyte problem/for the pt. |
| Valves on the left side of the heart | Mitral valve, tricuspid valve |
| detects skin voltage | Sensor |
| first step in the electrical impulse | SA node |
| Hyperkalemia | Elevated potassium |
| standardization mark | Underdamped |
| ventricle that supplies blood to the aorta | left |
| After the T wave or U wave | The heart resets |
| fluid the heart floats in | Pericardial fluid |
| SA node fires this causes the | Atria to contract |
| Bundle Branches where will it travel next | Purkinje fibers |
| Acute | Sudden, sharp, severe |
| standardization of the EKG machine | amplifier sensitivity/ Stylus response/ instrument’s settings |
| lead one | Right arm and left arm |
| contraction phase | Systole |
| failure to perform | Breach of contract |
| heart outside of the SA node | Ectopic beat |
| enlargement of the heart | Megacardia |
| sinus rhythm of 58 | sinus bradycardia / below 60bpm |
| suffix centesis | Puncture |
| lead three recorded | Left arm and left leg |
| softening of the heart | Cardiomalacia |
| tort liability is | Negligence |
| combining form | Root of a word plus a combining vowel |
| ECG the P wave corresponds | Atrial depolarization |
| AVF lead | Left leg |
| Breach of patient’s confidence | libel and slander |
| Purkinje fibers which stimulated after | SA node |
| clear EKG tracing pt. lying | supine position |
| bottom chambers of the heart | Ventricles |
| 6 chest electrodes | Leads V1-V6 |
| statute of limitations | Three years |
| marking the ECG | Dots and dashes |
| 4 extremities electrodes | Leads 1,2,3/ aVR,aVL,aVF |
| ventricular cells are partially repolarized | Vulnerable period |
| heart and blood vessels | Cardiovascular |
| the direction voltage is measured | Vertical |
| Telemetry | signals via radio waves |
| narcotics laws constitute | Criminal act |
