PEA (pulseless electrical activity)
A cardiac cycle is detected on an EKG monitor, but the patient has no pulse. What is
this?
Clean the skin with 70% isopropyl alcohol, and place tape over the electrodes
While performing an EKG on a patient, electrodes keep falling off. What should you do?
PR segment

artifacts appear in Leads I and II?
Atrial Flutter
Which of the following occurs when a singular irritable impulse fires so rapidly it
bombards the AV node, causing V shaped or upside down V shaped waves?
Ventricular Pacing
What rhythm is this?
