Q

1rst Degree Heart Block
(AV BLOCK)

A

Rate - name underlying rhythm
Rhythm - name underlying rhythm
P wave - upright 1/QRS
PRI - constant >.2
QRS - < .12
Name the underlying rhythm

17
Q

2nd Degree Type I

Wenkebach

A

Rate - (atrial - normal) (vent-slow)
Rhythm - irregular
P wave - upright 1/QRS
PRI - lengthen
QRS - lengthens

Not all P Waves have a QRS
P Waves march out

18
Q

3rd Degree Block

A

Rate - (Atrial - normal)
(Vent - <60)
Rhythm - (P -P regular)
(R - R regular)
P wave - upright 1/QRS
PRI - none
QRS - (junc - <.12) (vent - >.12)

P Waves march out but have no relationship to the QRS

19
Q

2nd Degree Type II

A

Rate - (Atrial - normal)
(Ventricle - slow)
Rhythm - R - R can be regular or irregular. R/t conduction rate
P wave - upright 1/QRS
PRI - constant >.20
QRS - <.12

QRS may look wider than normal

20
Q

Ventricular Tachycardia

A

Rate - 150 - 250
Rhythm - regular
P wave - none
PRI - none
QRS - >.12

QRS is wide and bizarre. “Praying Nuns”

21
Q

A

Rate - none
Rhythm - none
P wave - none
PRI - none
QRS - none

Can be Course or Fine

22
Q

PVC

A

Rate - interrupts base rhythm
Rhythm - name underlying rhythm
P wave - none
PRI - none
QRS - >.12

Compensatory pause follows the wide QRS

23
Q

Idioventricular

A

Rate - 20 - 40
Rhythm - regular
P wave - none
PRI - none
QRS - >.12

Usually an escape rhythm

24
Q
