Interpreting Rhythm Strips Flashcards
Even and normal P wave, QRS, and T wave for every single complex
Normal Sinus Rhythm
Chaotic squiggly line
-QRS chaos
-No pattern
-No pulse d/t NO CARDIAC OUTPUT
SHOCK EM
Ventricular Fibrillation
(QRS chaos)
There is a pattern of sharp V peaks
-Wide, bizarre QRS
-HR higher than 120
Ventricular Tachycardia
(QRS, bizarre)
NOT SHOCKABLE - CPR, EPI, VASO
-Flatline
-cessation of electrical and mechanical activity of heart
Asystole
Like normal sinus with extra✨flare✨
-chaotic P wave depolarization
Atrial Fibrillation
(P-wave, chaos)
QRS consistent but wide
Atrioventricular Block
P wave depolarization in SAW TOOTH pattern
Atrial Flutter
(P-wave, saw tooth)
Periodic wide QRS
Premature Ventricular Contractions
