A

lymphocyte percentage is low

29
Q

Cardiac event that generates a P-Wave

A

atrial depolarization

30
Q

Cardiac event that generates the QRS complex

A

ventricular depolarization

31
Q

Cardiac event that generates a T-Wave

A

ventricular repolarization

32
Q

BIOPAC EKG Screen: What is Heart Rate (bpm) and where is it found on output?

A

Heart rate is beats per minute and the value is found in box on top of screen

33
Q

BIOPAC EKG Screen: What is R-R value?

A

The top of QRS complex (R value) 1 to the top of QRS complex (R value) 2.

34
Q

BIOPAC EKG Screen: What is Wave duration (delta T) and where is it found on output?

A

Wave duration is known as the delta T and measures the time between heartbeats (time elapsed between R-R). Value found in box on top of screen.

35
Q

What is an arrhythmia?

A

abnormal rhythm due to defect in conduction system

36
Q

Arrhythmias: define atrial flutter

A

rapid atrial contractions coupled with 2nd degree block

37
Q

Arrhythmias: define ventricular fibrillation

A

ventricles “quiver” and stop pumping; no defined waves on ECG

38
Q

Arrhythmias: define LQTS (Long QT Syndrome)

A

congenital disorder characterized by prolonged QT interval on ECG

39
Q

Pulse Rate =

A

Systolic BP - Diastolic BP

40
Q

Pulse Pressure =

A

Systolic BP - Diastolic BP

41
Q

Heart Rate =

A

Systolic BP - Diastolic BP

42
Q

BPM =

A

Systolic BP - Diastolic BP

43
Q

What is the hemoglobinometer?

A

Measures hemoglobin values. Has a screen and a plate to place blood droplets for readings.

44
Q

What is a pulse oximeter?

A

A pulse oximeter measures hemoglobin saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. Has a screen and a finger sensor attached to it.

45
Q

What affects pulse oximeter readings?

A

dark nail polish

46
Q

What is the normal SpO2 range in healthy people?

47
Q

What does an SpO2 below 92% indicate?

A

inadequate oxygen levels in the blood typically caused by respiratory distress.

48
Q

What piece of equipment is used to measure blood pressure?

A

A sphygmomanometer

49
Q

What is considered the normal range for blood pressure?

A

110-130 systolic (mmHg)/75-85 diastolic (mmHg)

50
Q

What piece of equipment are the “lubb-dupp” sounds associated with?

A

stethoscope

51
Q

What cardiac event is the “lubb” sound associated with?

A

“Lubb” (S1) is associated with the atrioventicular valves closing.

52
Q

What cardiac event is the “dupp” sound associated with?

A

“Dupp” (S2) is associated with the semilunar valves closing.

53
Q

Where can the radial artery be found?

A

medial portion of the wrist

54
Q

Which of the “lubb-dupp” sounds is louder and more prolonged?

55
Q

Which of the “lubb-dupp” sounds is shorter and sharper?

56
Q

Where should the diaphragm of the stethoscope be placed for auscultation?

A

the level of the fifth intercostal space

57
Q

define Blood Pressure

A

the pressure exerted by the blood as it pushes against the walls of the blood vessels

58
Q

In what type of vessel does blood pressure typically rise and fall as the heart contracts and relaxes?

59
Q

Systolic blood pressure is the pressure measured at the moment…

A

… the ventricles contract.

60
Q

Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure measured at the moment…

A

… the ventricles relax.

61
Q

What is the layman name for the sphygmomanometer?

A

blood pressure cuff

62
Q

Describe Systolic BP as it relates to Korotkoff sounds

A

Systolic BP is the sound of blood squirting through the now partially opened artery due to the release of enough air pressure from the sphygmomanometer to allow flow

63
Q

Describe Diastolic BP as it relates to Korotkoff sounds

A

Diastolic BP is the lack of sound after the initial Korotkoff sound as blood is now able to flow freely without any turbulence caused by pressure from the sphygmomanometer

64
Q

Stroke Volume =

A

Pulse Pressure OR Pulse Rate OR Heart Rate OR BPM x 1.7

65
Q

Cardiac Output =

A

Stroke Volume x Heart Rate OR Pulse Rate OR Pulse Pressure OR BPM
