Question
Answer
ECG or EKG   show
🗑
5 reasons for ecg   show
🗑
4 chambers of the heart   show
🗑
show deoxygenated blood enters the heart here  
🗑
show oxygenated blod leaves the heart here and is delivered cells, tissues and organs of the body  
🗑
Sinoatrial node   show
🗑
show contraction of cardiac cells  
🗑
repolarazation   show
🗑
show heart relaxes breifly  
🗑
show a flatline is present when there is no current flowing in the heart  
🗑
waves   show
🗑
P, QRS, T   show
🗑
show represents atrial depolarazation and is recorded as a positive deflection  
🗑
show represents ventricular depolarazation  
🗑
T wave   show
🗑
show 0.8 seconds  
🗑
show 12 lead single channel ecg- record each lead either manually or automatically on a single strip of paper that requires the paper to be cut and mounted  
🗑
multichannel electrocardiograph   show
🗑
3 channel   show
🗑
show is heat and pressure sensitive  
🗑
show skin is a pore conductor of electroclyte, there are various types of conductive current substances applied with each electrode to pick up the electrical current. Gels, Paste, Lotions or presaturated pads  
🗑
Sensors or electrodes   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show given off by the heart are picked up by the electrodes and conduct into the machine through lead wire.  
🗑
Placement of leads   show
🗑
Standard limb or bipolar leads   show
🗑
Bipolar leads   show
🗑
LEAD 1   show
🗑
LEAD 2   show
🗑
show records the electrical activity between the la and ll  
🗑
Rhythm strip   show
🗑
Augmented Leads   show
🗑
aVR   show
🗑
aVL   show
🗑
aVF   show
🗑
show these are unipolar leads v1-v6. record the hearts electrical impulse from central point within the heart to one of six predesignated positions on the chest wall where an electrode is attached  
🗑
v1   show
🗑
show 4the intercostals space to the left of the sternum  
🗑
show 5th intercostals space at the left midclavicular line  
🗑
show midway between v2 and v4  
🗑
show horizontal to v4 at the left midaxillary line  
🗑
show horizontal to v4 at the left anterior axillary line between v4 and v6  
🗑
Standaraztion of the machine   show
🗑
Somantic Tremor Artifacts   show
🗑
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.  
🗑
wandering baseline   show
🗑
interrupeted baseline   show
🗑
Normal sinus rhythm   show
🗑
show normal limits for adult  
🗑
bradycardia   show
🗑
show 100 beats per minute or more  
🗑
Premature atrial contraction   show
🗑
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  
🗑
atrial fibrillation   show
🗑
hypertension   show
🗑
Premature ventricular contractions   show
🗑
Ventricuar tachycardia   show
🗑
show is lefe threatening and can rapidly deteriorate infibrillation and cardiac standstill  
🗑
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  
🗑
show portable continuos recording of cardiac activity for a 24 hour period, helps to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias by correlatin them with a patients symptoms  
🗑
show 4th intercostal right of sternum A (black)

🗑
treadmill stress test or exercse tolerance ecg   show
🗑
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
🗑
show coronary artery bypass graft or cabbagge  
🗑
