What is

Sinus Rhythm?

Rate:

PR:

QRS:

p wave:

 

Definition

Rate: 60-100

PR: .12-.2

QRS:.06-.12

p wave: one per QRS. regular

Term

What is Sinus Rhythm with

Premature Atrial Depolarization?

 

two different kinds are:

looks like:

Definition

sinus rhythm with an ectopic impulse in the atrium but outside of SA node.

 

unifocal: all PADs from same ectopic focal

multifocal: PADs from different focals

looks like random beats are early 

 

 

Term

What is

Atrial Flutter?

Definition
SA rate of 300/min with random QRS
Term

What is

Atrial Fibrillation?

 

p wave:

risk:

controlled if: 

Definition

rapid multifocal ectopic firings in atrium. 

Only irregular strong pulses go through AV node to result in a QRS.

no p-wave

risk for blood clot in atrium

controlled if rate <100/min 

Term

What is

Junctional Rhythm?

 

Rate?

Regular?

P wave looks like? 

Definition

When AV node acts as pacemaker. 

Rate: 40-60

Regular

 

p wave is either 

  1. hidden in QRS
  2. after QRS
  3. inverted before QRS and <.12 
Term

What is sinus rhythm with

premature ventricular complexes (PVDs)?

 

possible rhythms:

Definition

A random impulse from ventricle results in wide QRS and no p-wave

 

possible rhythms: bigeminy, trigeminy, couplets. also unifocal or multifocal (does each PVD look the same or different?) 

Term

What is

Ventricular Tachycardia

 

rate:

p waves:

regular?

QRS:

risk:

Definition

 

rate: 100/min

no p waves

regular

wide QRS

risk: blood clot in atrium

Term

What is Ventrical Fibrillation?

 

regular?

rate?

p wave?

 

Definition

 

very irregular

rate 300+/min

no p-wave. no pulse 

Term
What is 1st degree AV block?
Definition
sinus rhythm with prolong PR (> .20 sec)
Term
What is 2nd degree block type I
Definition
PR progressively increases until a QRS is dropped
Term
What is 2nd degree AV block type II?
Definition

Occasional block at AV node resulting in missing QRS.

 

Regular rhythm with some p waves that have no QRS

Term

What is

3rd degree AV block?

Definition

Complete AV block. 

Atrium fires with normal p-p intervals.  Ventrical fires with normal r-r intervals that do NOT match up with p waves.
