Question
Answer
show - AV heart block: 2nd degree type II and 3rd degree heart block. -Symptomatic bradycardia. -AV heart block =MI -Heart block post MAZE procedure. -Chronic bifascicular or trifascicular block. -Sinus node dysfunction (sick sinus syndrome).  
🗑
show 5-8 years.  
🗑
show Connect power source and electronic circuitry to electrodes.  
🗑
show Used for cardiac sensing and stimulation.  
🗑
Describe unipolar pacer:   show
🗑
Describe bipolar pacer:   show
🗑
show Epicardial leads are placed directly on the heart during cardiac surgery or for biventricular pacing.  
🗑
show Placed transvenous for temp or perm pacing.  
🗑
show Epicardial and endocardial.  
🗑
Two kinds of indirect cardiac pacing:   show
🗑
show Inter-society Commission for Heart Disease.  
🗑
Pacing 1st position:   show
🗑
Pacing 2nd position:   show
🗑
show 3rd position designates response to sensed events. I=inhibited, T=triggered, D=double (both I and T), or O=none.  
🗑
show 4th and 5th positions designated programmable and special antitachycardia functions.  
🗑
show Asynchronous (fixed rate pacing) Pacer delivers stimuli at a programmed rate without regard to patients intrinsic rhythm. ie: AOO, VOO.  
🗑
show Temporary pacers.  
🗑
show Tachydysrhythmias.  
🗑
show Intrinsic atrial or ventricular myopotentials.  
🗑
show Inhibition of pacemaker output in one or the other chamber. ie: VVI, AAI.  
🗑
show A-fib. Most common pacing mode. Magnet will convert to fixed rate usually .  
🗑
What is the most common pacing mode?   show
🗑
AAI: Used in...   show
🗑
Dual chamber pacing mode is intended to...   show
🗑
Dual chamber pacing mode provides AV...   show
🗑
show Lowers incidence of AF.  
🗑
show Stroke.  
🗑
CHF and dual chamber pacing?   show
🗑
show Decreases mortality.  
🗑
True or false. Dual chamber pacing reduces LV filling.   show
🗑
By how much does dual chamber pacing increase CO?   show
🗑
show Reduces incidence of mitral and tricuspid regurg.  
🗑
High tech pacing functions: Pts with prolonged QT intervals can be cont paced to...   show
🗑
show Continuously pace patients with prolonged QT intervals.  
🗑
show A variety of pacing patterns.  
🗑
show Based on muscle activity and resp rate. Detects states of exercise and triggers accelerations in pacing rate to meet the needs of the patient.  
🗑
DDD pacers will sometimes track atrial activity to a max track in paroxysmal atrial flutter. This will cause a undesirable acceleration in ventricular pacing rate. Automatic mode switching will...   show
🗑
Biventricular pacing is used in whom? Why?   show
🗑
show 1. Right atrial lead 2. Right ventricular lead 3. Left ventricular lead  
🗑
In biventricular pacing, how is the LV lead placed?   show
🗑
show Reduces mitral regurgitation and allows for a better forward flow.  
🗑
How does biventricular pacing reduce mitral regurg and allow for better flow?   show
🗑
Biventricular pacing causes synchronous contraction between left and right side of the heart. What does this do to the septal wall?   show
🗑
Can biventricular pacing be combined with ICD?   show
🗑
show Placed transvenous under MAC.  
🗑
Failure to output: No pacing spike is present despite an indication to pace. Troubleshoot (5 things).   show
🗑
How to correct failure to output (no pacing spike is present despite an indication to pace) which is being caused by cautery?   show
🗑
Failure to capture. Occurs when a pacing spike is not followed by either an atrial or a ventricular complex. Troubleshoot (6 things).   show
🗑
Oversensing. Occurs when, and is caused by what?   show
🗑
show Sensitivity needs to be adjusted. Give the pacer more brain power.  
🗑
Undersensing. Occurs when a pacer incorrectly misses intrinsic depolarization and paces despite intrinsic activity. Four causes?   show
🗑
Temp. transvenous or epicardial pacing:   show
🗑
show Measured in mA from .1-20. Adjust according to current needed to elicit myocardial depolarization.  
🗑
Sensitivity= Brain power. Detects pts intrinsic rhythm or lack of. The lowest number (blank) the pacer is the smartest. The highest number (blank) the pacer is brainless=asynchronous mode.   show
🗑
show A, V, dual.  
🗑
show External Pacing pads: Ant-Post= Sandwich the heart. Ant placement= Do not place on bony area (sternum).  
🗑
Six steps of transcutaneous pacing:   show
🗑
How many deaths due to VF?   show
🗑
AICD implanted in high risk population Successfully terminates VF in (blank) of episodes   show
🗑
show Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.  
🗑
show ICD.  
🗑
What does an ICD do in the case of VT?   show
🗑
show 10-30 seconds, 20-30 J, 10-30 seconds.  
🗑
show EMI (electromagnetic interference) from cautery can elicit a shock.  
🗑
show Transcutaneous pacing/defib pads need to be placed on pt.  
🗑
How do you use a magnet on Medtronic and St. Jude?   show
🗑
show Magnet over it for 30 seconds until continuous tone is heard to deactivate. Magnet back on beeping synch with R wave for reactivation.  
🗑
show 1.Do not use antiarrhythmics. 2.Have transcutaneous pacer/defib on patient.  
🗑

🗑
During diastole IABP benefits coronary perfusion in two ways:   show
🗑

🗑
show For a few milliseconds after the balloon is deflated, the left ventricle has less pressure to eject against= decrease afterload.  
🗑
