EKG Strips Questions & Answers
Correct!!
Atrial Flutter -has a "saw tooth or picket fence" atrial pattern (no P waves, F-waves in
stead that may be in a ratio) between the QRS complexes. - ANSWERS
Atrial Fibrillation-Has "chaotic" atrial electrical activity (no P waves, f-waves instead)
with irregular R-R intervals. - ANSWERS
PJCs cause the rhythm to be irregular. The P wave is inverted if it can be seen. It may
occur before, during or after the QRS. The P wave will not be seen due to its low
voltage. - ANSWERS
Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave may occur
before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 40-60 bpm. -
ANSWERS
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave
may occur before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 60-100
bpm. - ANSWERS
Junctional Tachycardia Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave
may occur before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 100-180
bpm - ANSWERS
Supraventricular Tachycardia presents with a "normal-narrow" appearing QRS complex
and a rate of greater than 150 bpm. Remember for heart rates approaching 150 or
higher, it will be very likely that the P wave will be buried. Be prepared to increase the
paper speed for this rhythm. - ANSWERS
First Degree AV Block, the PR interval is constant and measures greater than 0.20
second. - ANSWERS
