- 15 boxes
4. 6 seconds on the ECG paper is equal to how many 5 mm boxes?
- 30 boxes
5. 1 second on the ECG paper is equal to how many 5 mm boxes?
- 5 boxes
6. PR Interval is equal to how many seconds?
, - 0.20 seconds
7. QRS complex is equal to how many seconds?
- 0.10 seconds or less
8. How do we measure the QT interval?Measure from beginning of QRS to end of T wave.
- Normal is based on the rate
9. PR segment is usually how many seconds?
- 0.08 seconds
10. ST segment is usually how many seconds?
- 0.16 seconds
11. P Wave is?
- In Lead II small, rounded part of the EKG complex that occurs before the
QRS
- It is the first deflection of the cardiac cycle
12. P Wave is caused by?
, - Depolarization of the atria
13. A normal P wave should look like?
- Smooth and round
- Positive in lead II
- No more than 2.5 mm in height
- No more than 0.10 second in width
- One P wave to each QRS complex
14. Inverted P wave
- SA node not the pacemaker
15. Absent P wave
- lack of normal depolarization of the atria
16. Multiple P waves
- atrial flutter
17. Saw tooth P waves
- atrial flutter
