Exam 1 (CV Monitoring) Flashcards
1
Q
- In a normal 12 Lead EKG, which leads have inverted T-waves?
A
Leads aVR & V1
2
Q
- What lead do you look at for a RBBB?
A
- V1.
- If QRS goes up → RBBB
3
Q
- What lead do you look at for a LBBB?
A
- V1
- If QRS goes down → LBBB
4
Q
- What constitutes right atrial hypertrophy?
A
Initial part of P wave is larger in V1 or >2.5mm in any limb lead
5
Q
- What constitutes left atrial enlargement?
A
- Biphasic wave in V1 or
- Camel hump in lead II
6
Q
- How do you determine RV hypertrophy on a 12-Lead?
A
The QRS in V1 is positive & R wave gets smaller
7
Q
- How do you determine LV hypertrophy?
A
- Large S wave in V1,
- Larger R wave in V5
8
Q
- What is an easy way to determine myocardial ischemia on an EKG?
A
Inverted symmetrical T-wave
9
Q
- Which PPM uses less energy?
A
Bipolar
10
Q
- What are the function codes for PPM’s?
A
- I: chambers paced
- II: chambers sensed
- III: Response to sensing
- IV: Rate modulation
- V: Multisite pacing
11
Q
- What does T, O, R & I stand for with PPM’s?
A
- T= Triggered
- O=None
- R= Rate modulation
- I=Inhibited
12
Q
- Triggered is only used, when?
A
For testing devices
13
Q
- What is multisite pacing good for?
A
A-fib & dilated cardiomyopathy
14
Q
- Bi-V pacing has leads where & who gets it?
A
- Right atrium & both ventricles.
- For very sick Pts
15
Q
- What are the requirements for Bi-V PPM?
A
- EF 30-35%
- IVCD
- Hx of cardiac arrest
16
Q
- Which cautery causes more interference with PPM’s?
A
Monopolar
17
Q
- What do AICD’s measure?
A
- R-R interval
- QRS width
