ST depression indicates
Myocardial Ischemia
A sawtooth pattern with a regular ventricular rhythm is
Atrial Flutter
An ECG that shows no relationship between the P wave and QRS complex is
3rd degree heart block
An AV block where none of the sinus impulses reach the ventricles is
3rd degree heart block
A heart block that closely resembles a normal sinus rhythm is
1st Degree

Increased LV pressure
You noticed a dampened waveform on an arterial line, what would you do first?
Check for air bubbles
A chronic hypercapneic patient is admitted to ED, he passed out at home, PA catheter is placed with the following: PAP 26/11, PCWP 5 mmHg, CVP 1 mmHg, BP 72/42, SVR 1240 dynes, CI 1.2L/min/m2
* He is most likely?
Hypovolemic
You see an 82 y.o. women in the ED with h/o CAD, she is conscious and alert. She is c/o chest pain radiating to the left arm, she is diaphoretic, SOB. BP is 120/64, pulse is 54 and irregular, RR is 32, you place her on the monitor and it shows Vfib. Your immediate action is to
Check the Monitor leads
