A

can signify issues- will investigate if new

pr interval longer then.2

what pr interval
consult w who

Arrythmias

A

pr interval gets longer and longer until it skips a beat

consult cardiology

154
Q

2nd Degree Block- type 2
has what

consult w who

Arrythmias

A

has a normal p-qrs and then just a random p wave that does not have a qrs

consult cardiology

155
Q

3rd degree block

very
has what ecg
a/v
get
may need

Arrythmias

A
  • very slow hr,

has lots of p waves but not a lot of qrs

atria and ventricles are working at different paces

get bp/ loc

may need pacemaker

156
Q

Atrial fib/flutter-
assess x2
unstable means-what hr and bp

try to
if chronic give

Arrythmias

A

assess bp/loc

if high hr then unstable //also then a low bp

try to convert with med or cardioversion with really fast rate

if chronic give rate controller and blood thinners

157
Q

V tach-

assess pt for x4
low bp means
if pulse->
if no pulse

if cardioversion->might

Arrythmias

A

assess pt for bp/ o2 / loc/ pulse

low bp means unstable

if pulse- if pulse try to convert with meds or cardioversion,

if no pulse cpr and defib

, if cardioversion- might sedate so monitor airway and vitals and 02

158
Q

V fib-
make sure
what rhythm
start

Arrythmias

A

make sure monitor is correct,

shockable rhythm,

start cpr,

159
Q

st elevation

what looks like on ecg
in emergency- get x3
treat w
send to

A

not everything is on same plane in st elevation

in emergency- get loc/ bp/ 02

treat with mona

send to Cath lab

160
Q

morphine

when x2
assess x2
contraindications x3
releives

A

when- mi and acs

assess rr and loc

contraindications- low loc, bp, rr

receives pain and 02 demand
