Question
Answer
what are the values for triplets HR technique?   300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50  
🗑
how do you calculate HR using R to R meathod   count total small boxes X 0.04  
🗑
if r to r cycles vary, use the 6 second method. how do you do this?   count the number of complete QRS complexes in a 6 second strip and multiply by 10  
🗑
how many large boxes are in a 6 sec strip?   30  
🗑
where do you look for a RBBB   V1 and V2  
🗑
Whaat defines a RBBB?   in RBBB, the QRS comples has 2 r waves which gives a double-peaked appearance in V1 and V2  
🗑
what is an additional way to confirm RBBB diagnosis   I, V5 and V6 the S wave has a slurred appearance or the end of the wave doesnt return sharply back up to baseline  
🗑
where do you look for a LBBB   V5, V6, I  
🗑
Whaat defines a LBBB?   QRS is wide, mostly upright and t waves inverted in leads V5, V6, I  
🗑
what is an additional way to confirm LBBB diagnosis   V1-V3 if the QRS complexes are mostly negative (like big Q waves) and the t waves are upright then confirmation of LBBB  
🗑
what defines a "significant Q wave"?   at least 1 mm wide and greater than 1/3 the R wave  
🗑
what defines ST elevation?   1 mm above baseline in limb lead, 2 mm above baseline in chest lead, 0.08 sec to right of J point. Lok for in towo or more leads facing same area  
🗑
where do you look for inferior MI?   II, III, AVF  
🗑
where do you look for anterior MI?   V1-V4 (ST segment elevation in V1 and V2 are slightly elevate.. do not over diagnose)  
🗑
where do you look for posterior MI?   V1 and V2 for tall r waves that will not be accompanied by right axis deviation (hard to diagnose)  
🗑
where do you look for lateral MI?   I, AVL, V5, V6 sig Q waves in I and AVL is an old high lateral MI wheras ST segment elevation is called an acute high lateral MI. V5&V6 look at the "low" lateral surface so Q waves or ST elevation in these leads show old and acute "low lateral MI"  
🗑
what is the normal PR interval measure   0.12-0.20  
🗑
what is the normal QRS measure?   <0.12  
🗑
how do you measure st segment   if difficult to find S wave, go 0.04 sec past R wave to determine S wave. Go 0.08 seconds from s wave to analyze st segment  
🗑
how do you define 1st degree AV block?   PRI > 0.20  
🗑
how do you define 2nd degree, type 1 Mobitz AV block?   successively longer PRI until one qrs fails  
🗑
how do you define 2nd degree, type 2 AV block?   PRI normal or prolongeds, PRI do not lengthen , sudden dropped QRS w/o prior changes  
🗑
how do you define 3rd degree AV block?   no association between atria and ventricles. depolarizing independently  
🗑
what does a RBBB look like on an EKG?   pointed, defined, distinctive R peaks  
🗑
what does a LBBB look like on an EKG?   two R waves, lazy slope in between the Rs - not as defined  
🗑


   

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.
