Rates Flashcards
Intropic squeeze
Stroke volume
Types of heart rates
Sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia, idioventricular rhythm, sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular complex, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, pulseless electrical activity
Normal heart rate
Sinus rhythm
Ischemia, conduction issue (no P waves, upside down and wide QRS)
Idioventricular rhythm
Absent P waves indicate?
Electricity not originating in the SA node
Upside down QRS complex indicates?
Electrical impulses are originating in the ventricles
Someone with an idioventricular rhythm is in__
Cardiogenic shock
Conduction originating above the ventricles, normal conduction path, P waves merged with T waves
Supraventricular tachycardia
Early complex with P wave absent, wide inverted QRS
Premature ventricular complex
P wave absent, wide inverted QRS
Ventricular tachycardia
No regularity
No P waves
No organizing conduction
Ventricular fibrillation
For pre-mature ventricular complex, if you see in the same place every time (same cranky part of the heart)
Unifocal
For pre-mature ventricular complex, if it looks differet/more cranky parts of the heart
Multifocal
Causes of ventricular fibrillation
Ischemic changes
Commotio cordis
Ventricular fibrillation will eventually become___
Aystole
