Cardiac Flashcards
1st degree HB: AV node conduction
Prolonged but intact
ECG for 1st degree HB
Prolonged PR consistently, otherwise regular
What HB can be treated with atropine
First, Second type 1, block must be above bundle of his
2nd degree HB
One or more but not all sinus impulses blocked
2nd degree HB type I (site of dispruption
AV node
PR interval: 2nd degree HB type 1
lengthens until lost in QRS or blocked impulse
Type II 2nd degree HB site of disruption
AV node or lower
PR interval in type II 2nd degree HB
constant except when blocked. Some P waves with no QRS
2:1 2nd degree HB
2 p waves for every QRS
Third degree HB
Complete block with no conduction
Rhythm in 3rd degree HB
Junctional or Ventricular escape rhythm
P wave and QRS in 3rd degree HB
have no relationship, independent of each other, at rates of pacing cells
Tx for 3rd degree HB
Pacing, Dopamine, E
S/S bradycardia (5)
hypotension Alt Mental status Shock Ischemic chest pain Acute HF
Tx for bradycardia
Pacing, atropine
