BPK 407 LABORATORY REVIEW Flashcards
General Principles:
Identify sources of error (you will not have to do an error calculation for either the theory or the lab exam).
a
General Principles:
Differentiate between random and systematic errors.
a
General Principles:
Differentiate between the different properties of physiological instruments (for example, linearity, stability, frequency response, etc.)
a
General Principles:
Understand how electric current flows, and how one can operate electrical devices safely.
a
General Principles:
Describe steps that can be taken to reduce 60 Hz interference when recording physiological signals from human subjects
a
General Principles:
Describe the purpose of obtaining a subject’s informed consent.
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
What is the purpose of the right leg electrode? Does the EKG machine have a single ended amplifier or a differential amplifier?
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
Be able to interpret a diagram showing the configuration of electrodes for a specific lead, and relate this diagram to the direction of current flow in the heart. You should know the configuration of electrodes which comprise each lead.
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
Be able to recognize any of the technical problems or abnormalities described in the Lab Manual. Be able to describe the cause of each problem/abnormality. Be able to make an appropriate response when presented with each problem/abnormality (Exercise 1).
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
Calculate mean electrical axis of the heart, and list and briefly describe factors which will alter the axis (Exercise 3)
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
Calculate heart rate - from chart speed and from table.
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram: Calculate - P-R interval - Q-T interval - QRS amplitude (peak to peak)
a
Lab 1 Electrocardiogram:
Understand what electrical and mechanical events in the cardiac cycle correspond to each of these.
a
Lab 2 ECG and HRV:
Determining the time intervals on each ECG/Pulse cycle
a
Lab 2 ECG and HRV:
Calculate, the average beat period (sec/beat), heart rate (beats/min) and R-Pulse interval (Exercise 2)
