Question
Answer
List the 4 pacemaker sites   SA AV Junction Ventricular Atrial  
🗑
PR interval that identifies conduction delay thru the AV Junction   > 0.20  
🗑
How do you calculate heart rate with an irregular rhythm   count the number of P waves and multiply by 10  
🗑
How do you calculate heart rate with an regular rhythm   count the number of small blocks in P-P interval and divide by 1500  
🗑
Lead Placement/Color RA LA Chest RL LL   white black brown green red  
🗑
Represents depolarization of atrial electrical cells   P wave  
🗑
Represents time the impulse is passing thru the AV junction to the ventricles   PR segment  
🗑
Time required for electrical impulse to depolarize atria, travel thru AV node & Bundle of His to ventricles   PR interval  
🗑
Normal PR interval   0.12 - 0.20  
🗑
Measures how long it takes the ventricles to depolarize and repolarize   QT interval  
🗑
Normal QT interval   0.35 - 0.43  
🗑
Measures time for electrical impulse to transverse both ventricles   QRS width  
🗑
Normal QRS width   0.10 or less  
🗑
The first positive deflection from the baseline   R wave  
🗑
negative deflection from baseline following the R wave   S wave  
🗑
represents beginning of ventricular repolarization   ST segment  
🗑
represents last 2 phases of ventricular repolarization   T wave  
🗑
represents depolarization of the ventricle   QRS complex  
🗑
the first downward or negative deflection from baseline   Q wave  
🗑
Normal QRS width   0.10 or less  
🗑
Pacemaker Site: no P wave with normal QRS   Pacemaker Site: AV Junction  
🗑
Pacemaker Site: no P waves with wide QRS   Pacemaker Site: Ventricles  
🗑
Pacemaker Site: PR interval < 0.12   Pacemaker Site: AV Junction  
🗑
Pacemaker Site: PR interval 0.12 or greater   Pacemaker Site: SA node or Atria  
🗑
"pacemaker of the heart" 60-100 bpm   SA node  
🗑
Not a back up of the SA node   Atrial pacemaker site  
🗑
Monitor displays only this rate   ventricular  
🗑
Signs and symptoms of low cardiac output   -decreased level of consiousness -weak, thready pulses -loss of peripheral pulses -decreased urine output -cool, clammy skin -delayed capillary refill -chest pain -decreased blood pressure -CHF -AMI  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
