6 questions for EKG analysis Correct ans - -Is it regular?
-Does every P have a QRS and does every QRS have a P?
-What is the Rate?
-Is the PR interval WNL?
-Is the QRS WNL?
-Is the ST segment prolonged, short or elevated?
Normal heart rate Correct ans - 60-100 bpm
Normal PR interval length Correct ans - 0.12-0.20 sec
1 small box on the EKG is Correct ans - 0.04 sec
1 big box is on the EKG is Correct ans - 0.20 sec
30 big boxes on the EKG are Correct ans - 6 sec
To determine HR on the EKG Correct ans - count the R waves in 6 sec
and multiply by 10
Normal QRS length Correct ans - < 0.12 or equal to 0.12
Normal ST segment Correct ans - 0.08 to 0.12, not elevated
Normal sinus rhythm Correct ans - -regular
-every P has wa wQRS
-rate w70 wbpm
-PR winterval wis w0.20, wWNL
-QRS w length w is w 0.04 w WNL
-ST w segment w is w 0.08, w WNL
Sinus w Tachycardia Correct wans - w -regular
-every wP whas wa wQRS
-rate w 140 w bpm w (high)
-PR winterval wis w0.12, wWNL
-QRS w length w is w 0.04 w WNL
-ST w segment w is w 0.08, w WNL
TX: wonly wif wsymptomatic, wtreat wunderlying wcause
Sinus w Bradycardia Correct wans - w -regular
-every wP whas wa wQRS
-rate w<60 wbpm
