- Absent P-wave
- Irregular Pulse
- HR > 100-200 bpm - (correct answer) Atrial Fibrillation
- Rapid HR
- 240-350 bpm w/ a saw tooth pattern
* Type I 240-350
* Type II >350 - (correct answer) Atrial Flutter
*Bizarre QRS.
-Sometimes looks like an upside down QRS - (correct answer) Premature Ventricular
Complexes (PVC)
- HR >100bpm
- Large, wide, undulating waves
- P waves are not associated w/ the QRS complex - (correct answer) Ventricular Tachycardia
- Quivering and lack of effective contraction
- ECG is rapid and erratic w/ no identifiable QRS complex - (correct answer) Ventricular
Fibrillation
- P - wave is normal
- *** PR interval prolonged (>0.20 sec)
- QRS will be normal (0.06-0.10 sec) - (correct answer) 1st Degree Heart Block
- P wave is normal
- PR interval is progressively longer (>0.20 sec)
- ***QRS complex will usually be normal (0.06-0.10 sec) UNTIL IT IS MISSED, then the cycle
repeated - (correct answer) 2nd Degree Heart Block (Type 1)
- P wave is normal *** can and often does outnumber QRS complex
- PR interval is normal or prolonged (>0.20 sec)
- QRS complex will be normal or wide - (correct answer) 2nd Degree Heart Block (Type II)
