ECG 1 - Interpreting and Reporting Framework

Question 1

1 - rate
-? over no of ? squares
2 - rhythm 
-is it ? - p followed by qrs with constant ?? interval
3 - cardiac ?
-normal = 1 + 2 are ?
-RAD = 1 ? and 3 ? (yes 3 not 2)
-LAD = 1 ? and 2 and 3 ?

Remember L for leaving eachother
and R for reaching to eachother

Question 2

4 - assess  ? waves
-RAH = ?/?
-LAH = ?/?
5 - assess ?? interval
-from ? of P wave to ? of QRS
-normal range in small squares?
-if longer than normal range?

Answer 2

Question 3

6 - assess the QRS complex
-width - wider than ? ss = ? origin or ? ? block
-height - RVH = tall in ?, LVH = tall in ?
7 - assess the ?? segment
-elevation in MI/? (generalised)
-depression in ?/digoxin
8 - assess for pathological t wave ?
- T wave ? in aVR, 3, V1/V2 can be ?

Question 4

9 - assess for ? waves
-? waves indicate an ? infarction
-normal in LV leads: ?/?/?
10 - assess the ?? interval

Question 5

accurate ECG depends on correct set up

• skin must be clean and ?
• where are V1/2?
• where are V3/4?
• where are V5/6?
• aVR and aVL go on r and l ? respectively
• ? goes on left ankle
• what goes on right ankle?

V4 - mid clav line 5th ics
V3 between V2 and V4
V5 between V4 and V6
V6 mid axillary line 5th ics
arms
aVF
neutral lead
