Allows hyper efflux of K
6,12,12
Unless centrally given
3,6,6
Can cause broncho spasm

48
Q

Causes of re entry

A

Long distance of conduction- Mitral stenosis causes LA dilation
Low conduction velocity- ischemia, hyperkalemia (hasnt picked up speed)
short rest period (epinepherine, electric shock)

49

How to break re entryin theory? What meds for ortho and anti?

A

Slow the conduction
Increase rest period

Increase rest period of AV node
cardiovert
Vagal
Adenosine
BB
Verapamil
Amio

54
Q

How to treat WPW less common antidromic more dangerous

A

Block at accessory pathway (bottom R of RA) not AV node bc otherwise conduction will just go thru accessory pathway and not AV
Cardiovert
Procainamide

55
Q

Why is antidromic WPW more dangerous?

A

Since the AV node is bypassed, ventricle cotraction can reach 300

56

64
Q

Common pacing modes

A

AOO, VOO, DOO- Delivers at a constant rate regardless of anything, can cause r on t
AAI, VVI- back up plan, only fires when no hr sensed (atria sensed, paced, and inhibited when natural heart rate falls low)
DDD- most common, both sensed, paced, and both inhibited and triggered. triggered when hr is low, and inhibits when there is a natural pacemaker

65
Q

Treatment for pace maker failure

A

Isoproterinol
Epinepherine
Atropine

66
Q

What does a magnet do to pacer, icd, and combo?

A

Converts to asynchronous mode
Suspends icd and prevents shock delivery
Suspends icd and shock delivery, no effect on pacemaker function

67
Q

Failure to sense

A

Pacer sends too many impulses bc it doesnt sense rhythm, asynchronous

68
Q

Failure to capture, causes

A

Heart doesnt beat after pacer spike
Hypocarbia, hypokalemia, hypothermia, MI, antiarrhythmics

69
Q

Failure to output, causes

A

When shock isnt given in asystole
Oversensing, pulse generator failure, lead failure

70
Q

Cx for pacer patients, not cx

A

MRI
Not Cx- electroconvulsive therapy, lithotripsy

71
Q

What is atria doing during QRS?

A

repolarization

72
Q

When to cancel surgery for a fib?

A

New onset, undiagnosed

73

A

WPW

74
Q

A

Potassium efflux, hyperpolarization

75
Q
A
76
Q

What can cause pacer to not work in surgery?

A

Hypocarbia, which blew off all acid and K, which made RMP too low
Hypothermia causes bradycardia
