2 Questions With Complete Solutions
What is generated by the SA node?
Electrical impulse
hypertrophy
Increases electrical activity
Infarction
Dead tissue, no electrical activity
How many leads & limbs and chest leads are in ECG?
12 leads used
Six limb leads
Six pre-cordial chest leads
10 electrodes
How many Beats per minute is flutter
>200
How many beats per minute is fibrillation?
Too fast count
How do you estimate the heart rate on an ECG?
300 divided by the number of large boxes between the R waves
What is normal sinus rhythm?
Normal rate, no skips, extra beats, etc.
,What is sinus tachycardia?
Sinus rhythm with the right greater than 100
What is the treatment for sinus tachycardia?
Oxygen
What is sinus bradycardia?
Sinus rhythm with a rate less than 60
What is the treatment for sinus bradycardia?
Atropine and oxygen
What is atrial flutter?
Create a series of identical P waves that take a saw tooth
appearance
What is atrial fibrillation?
Produces an irregular baseline with no visible pee waves the
QRS complexes are also irregular
What is premature ventricle contractions (pvc)?
Inverted T wave
What is the treatment for PVC?
Oxygen
Ventricular tachycardia treatment with a pulse
cardioversion
Ventricular tachycardia treatment without a pulse
Defibrillate. CPR., epinephrine., amiodarone
, Ventricular flutter/fibrillation
Completely irregular ventricular rhythm
How do you treat ventricular flutter/fibrillation
Defibrillate
Asystole
flat line
How do you treat asystole?
Confirm into leads, CPR, epinephrine
What is ischemia?
reduced blood flow to tissue
What is injury?
acute damage to tissue
What is infarction?
necrosis or death of tissue
What is Ischemia indicated by?
depressed or inverted T wave
What is injury indicated by
An elevated S-T segment
What is infarction diagnosed by?
Significant Q waves
