EKG's for CAMC Class
ASYSTOLE
-hypoxia #1 cause
NURSING CONSIDERATIONS -
CONFIRM ON TWO LEADS -DON'T
DEFIB!
----Why? No electrical activity to disrupt/restart
-Start CPR IMMEDIATELY
-Doc will give epi. DON'T STOP CPR TO GIVE THOUGH
-Given every 3-5 minutes after
Pacemaker Rule
The pacemaker site firing the fastest controls the heart rate
Automaticity
the ability of the heart to initiate an impulse without outside stimulation Escape
a higher pacemaker sites does not create an impulse, so a lower pacemaker site
takes over
irratability
Cause of premature beats
Inherent rate natural rate of
a pacemaker

SINUS TACHYCARDIA
Rhythm- sinus
Rate- >100 bpm
