Question
Answer
What is a normal PR interval?   show
🗑
show 0.06-0.10 seconds  
🗑
What happens during P waves?   show
🗑
show Ventricular depolarization  
🗑
show Ventricular repolarization  
🗑
show * Rate: 60-100bpm * Rhythm: regular * 1P:1QRS * PR interval 0.12-0.20sec * QRS 0.06-0.10sec  
🗑
show * same as NSR, with HR >100bpm.  
🗑
show * same as NSR< with HR <60bpm * do not treat unless patient is symptomatic. Treat with atropine 0.5mg or pacemaker therapy.  
🗑
show * Rhythm is normal until interrupted by early beats from the atria, which makes the rhythm irregular * Usually requires no treatment; advise client to reduce ETOH and caffeine intake, reduce stress, and stop smoking (if applicable).  
🗑
show * Rate: 100-280bpm (~150-200bpm) * PR: unmeasurable * generally T-on-P waves * vagal maneuvers, adenosine, verapamil  
🗑
show * Atrial rate 240-360bpm; ventricular usually <150bpm * P:QRS may be 2:1, 4:1, 6:1 or variable * PR unmeasurable * characteristic F (sawtooth) waves  
🗑
show * Atrial rate 300-600bpm; ventricular 100-180bpm * Rhythm: irregularly irregular * P:QRS is variable * PR unmeasurable * f (fibrillatory) waves  
🗑
How is A-fib/A-flutter treated?   show
🗑
Junctional rhythm characteristics   show
🗑
show * 40-60bpm * If P wave is present, PR is generally <0.10sec. * Treat if symptomatic.  
🗑
show * 60-100bpm  
🗑
show * >100bpm  
🗑
show * Rate: variable * Rhythm: irregular, with PVC interrupting underlying rhythm followed by a compensatory pause. * P:QRS: no P before PVC * PR: absent with PVC. * QRS is wide, bizarre, >0.12sec.  
🗑
show Treat is experiencing symptoms - IV lidocaine, procainamide, quinidine, propanolol. Avoid stimulant use. A RUN OF 3 OR MORE PVCS = RUN OF VTACH.  
🗑
show * Rate: 100-250bpm * Rhythm: regular * P waves usually not identifiable * PR not measured * wide, bizarre QRS, >0.12sec  
🗑
show Treat if VT is sustained or client is experiencing symptoms - amiodorone or lidocaine. If pt is unconcious or unstable, immediate defib is required.  
🗑
Ventricular fibrillation (VF or VFib)   show
🗑
1st Degree AV Block   show
🗑
show * Rate 60-100bpm * Rhythm atrial regular, ventricular irregular * PR interval progressively lengthens; absence of QRS at times * monitor; atropine or isproterenol if pt is symptomatic.  
🗑
2nd degree AV block type 11, Mobitz II   show
🗑
3rd degree AV block (complete heart block)   show
🗑
Bundle Branch Block (BBB)   show
🗑
show * Junctional: no P waves, but REGULAR * Afib: no P waves, but IRREGULAR  
🗑
show PVCs that occur every other beat.  
🗑
Unifocal PVCs   show
🗑
Trigeminal PVCs   show
🗑
Quadrigeminal PVCs   show
🗑
Couplet PVCs   show
🗑
Multifocal PVCs   show
🗑
show When a PVC has occurred during the vulnerable period of ventricular repolarization (on/near peak of T wave). May precipitate into VT or VF!  
🗑
show when QRS complexes are identical  
🗑
show when QRS complexes look different  
🗑
Treatment of stable monomorphic VT with a pulse   show
🗑
show * polymorphic VT * pt becomes hemodynamically unstable very quickly  
🗑
show * remove/correct the causative factors. * Mg loading dose 1-2g/10mL dextrose 5% in water over 5min followed by maintenance infusion of 0.5-1g/hour.  
🗑
show * P waves w/o QRS complexes or an isoelectric line. May occur d/t acidosis, hypoxia, hyperkalemia, hypothermia or drug OD.  
🗑
atrial kick accounts for ___ of CO.   show
🗑
show S1. AV = mitral and tricuspid  
🗑
Closure of the pulmonic valves constitutes which heart sound?   show
🗑
show * atrial depolarization * smooth and rounded * 1P:1QRS * + in lead II * abnormally tall, peaked P = enlargement of R atrium  
🗑
show * represents the time from the onset of atrial depolarization to the time of ventricular depolarzation * 0.12-0.20sec  
🗑
QRS complex   show
🗑
ST segment   show
🗑
T wave   show
🗑
show 0.04  
🗑
show 0.20  
🗑
show 3, 6.  
🗑
