Question
Answer
PEA   pulseless electrical activity  
🗑
A cell is in a polarized state when it is   at rest  
🗑
_____ _____ is when channels open allowing the exchange of K, Na and Ca ions to occur   action potential  
🗑
the property of being able to recieve an electrical impulse from a neighboring cell, depolarize and pass onto another cell   conductivity  
🗑
P-waves represent   atrial contraction  
🗑
QRS-waves represent   ventricular contraction  
🗑
T-waves represent   ventricular relaxation  
🗑
Only ____ electrodes on an EKG are active at any one time   three  
🗑
Normal PR interval   0.12 - 0.20  
🗑
Normal QRS interval   less than 0.12  
🗑
Artifact on an EKG represents   patient movements  
🗑
Electrical response in a patients room causing interference on the the EKG reading   60 cycle interference  
🗑
rate:70, rhythm: regular, P Wave for every QRS, PR interval .12, QRS interval .06   normal sinus rhythm  
🗑
treatment for normal sinus rhythm   nothing, monitor patient and EKG  
🗑
Rate:50, rhythm: regular, P Wave for every QRS, QRS: .16   sinus bradycardia  
🗑
treatment for sinus bradycardia   give atropine and consult for a pacemaker  
🗑
action of atropine   blocks vagas nurve and makes sympathetic nerves take control and it is a short actingmed  
🗑
Rate: 70, rhythm: irregular, SA node rate increases with respirations, all intervals with in normal limits   sinus arrhythmia or dysrhythmia  
🗑
Rate: 160, rhythm: regular, difficult to see P Waves, QRS normal   supraventricular tachycardia  
🗑
treatment for supraventricular tachycardia   adenosine, amiodarone, cardioversion  
🗑
Rate: 70, rhythm: irregular, no P Waves QRS normal   A-Fib  
🗑
Rate: 250, rhythm: regular, F-waves (saw tooth), not P Waves not PR interval QRS regular   A-Flutter  
🗑
P-Wave looks different than the rest, regular rhythm, rate 85, PR 0.16, QRS: 0.08   PAC: pre atrial contraction  
🗑
Early QRS, wide and bizarre QRS, QRS >.12, no P Wave before the QRS   PVC: preventricular contraction  
🗑
> 6 PVC in one min what do you do   call the doctor  
🗑
rate > 100, rhythm regular, three or more PVC's in a row   V-Tac: ventricular tachycardia  
🗑
treatment for V-Fib   shock X3, epinephrine, defib, vasopressin, defib, amiodarone  
🗑
PR interval > .20 sec   first degree heart block  
🗑
normal to slow rate, irregular rhythm, P Wave not followed by a QRS   second degree heart block / Wenchebach  
🗑
rate slow, regular rhythm, more P Waves that QRS   second degree heart block / classical  
🗑
slow rate, regular P to P, regular QRS to QRS, irregular PR interval   Third degree heart block  
🗑
