Question
Answer
show electrocardiograhm measures the amount of the electrical activity produced by the heart and the time necessary for impulses to travel through the heart during each heartbeat.  
🗑
show 1. damage to the mycardium caused by MI 2. detect and evalualate cardio arrythythemia 3. detect mycardio ischemia 4. asses effects of cardiac meds on the heart. 5. determine if electrolyte imbalance is present.  
🗑
show 2 upper chambers: the atria 2 lower chambers: ventricles  
🗑
right atrium   show
🗑
show oxygenated blod leaves the heart here and is delivered cells, tissues and organs of the body  
🗑
Sinoatrial node   show
🗑
depolarazation   show
🗑
repolarazation   show
🗑
show heart relaxes breifly  
🗑
baseline   show
🗑
show deflection upward-postive deflection, delection downward negative deflection  
🗑
show waves represent depolarization (contraction) and repolarazation (recovry) of the myocardial cells.  
🗑
show represents atrial depolarazation and is recorded as a positive deflection  
🗑
show represents ventricular depolarazation  
🗑
show respresents ventricular repolarization and is a positive deflection  
🗑
show 0.8 seconds  
🗑
single channel electrocardiograph   show
🗑
show an electrocardiograph that can simultaneously record several different leads advantage is speed requires paper that is 8 1/2 inches and it fits into the patient record with no cutting or mounting  
🗑
show records three channels at one time. it records 1, 2, 3, aVR, aVL, and aVF and V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6  
🗑
ECG paper   show
🗑
Electrolyte   show
🗑
show detect electrical impulses on the body surface and relay them through cables or lead wires to the ECG machine, disposable electrodes should be kept in an airtight bag because they dry out and will not stick well  
🗑
show consists of 10 sensors that record 12 leads of the hearts electrical activity from different angles allowing for a through three dimensional interpretation of its activity  
🗑
Electrical Impulse   show
🗑
show 4 limbs and chest  
🗑
show first three leads that are recorded on standard ecg are called leads 1, 2, 3  
🗑
Bipolar leads   show
🗑
show records the electrical activity between the RA and LA  
🗑
LEAD 2   show
🗑
LEAD 3   show
🗑
show is on lead 2 because it protrays the hearts rhythm better than other leads the rhythm strip is usally a seperate, longer recording approximately 6-12 inches long  
🗑
show the next 3 leads are augmented (added to) or combined leads and are designated aVR, aVL and aVF these are Unipolar leads  
🗑
show records the electrical activity from the midpoint between the LA added to the LL directed to the RA  
🗑
aVL   show
🗑
show records the electrical activity from the midpoint between the ra addded to the la directed to the ll  
🗑
Chest Leads or precoridal leads   show
🗑
show 4th intercostals space to the right of the sternum  
🗑
v2   show
🗑
show 5th intercostals space at the left midclavicular line  
🗑
show midway between v2 and v4  
🗑
v6   show
🗑
show horizontal to v4 at the left anterior axillary line between v4 and v6  
🗑
Standaraztion of the machine   show
🗑
show aka muscle tremor, characterized by jagges peaks or irregularity of spacing and height occurs when a paitent is apprenhesive or uncomfortable  
🗑
show caused by electrical interference appears as a serier of small regular peaks electricity present in medical wquipment or wires in the area can leak a small amt of energy into the room in which the ecg is being recorded, causes, improper grounding.  
🗑
show occurs when the stylus moves from the center of the ecg paper resulting in the complexes wandering across the paper, electrodes too loose or too tight  
🗑
interrupeted baseline   show
🗑
show refers to an ecg that is within normal limits  
🗑
show normal limits for adult  
🗑
bradycardia   show
🗑
tacycardia   show
🗑
show cardiac cycle that occurs before the next cycle is due pwave is shaped differently than a p wave of normal cycle  
🗑
show seen in healthy and cardiac patients characterized by its unprovoked sudden onset and abrupt termination heart rate is regular and ranges between 160-250 beats per min  
🗑
show seen in healthy or cardiac patiens  
🗑
show characterized by extremely rapid incomplete contractions 400-500 beats per minute resulting in small irregular and uncoordinated complexes that are difficult to measure because P wave cannot be distinguished  
🗑
Premature ventricular contractions   show
🗑
Ventricuar tachycardia   show
🗑
v tach   show
🗑
show an electrical device that applies counter shocks to heart through electrodes or pads placed on the chest wall, purpose is to convert cardiac arrhythmia into normal sinus rhythm used in emergency situation  
🗑
Holter Monitor   show
🗑
mV1(holter monitor)   show
🗑
show right clavicle, lateral to sternum b (white)  
🗑
show left clavicle, lateral to sternum c (brown)  
🗑
mV5 (holter monitor)   show
🗑
ground (holter monitor)   show
🗑
diary of holter monitor   show
🗑
show aids in the determination of the patients diagnosis and prognosis it's taken under controlled conditions while the patient is closely monitored by the ma and provider  
🗑
show simlilar to the treamill stress test in that the patient has an ecg tracing while exercising on the treadmill after having an injection of a radioactive substance such as thallium  
🗑
PTCA   show
🗑
CAB   show
🗑
