Rhythms Flashcards
PJC Traits
Inverted/missing P waves, early beat
PJC Treatment
Treat patient: badicardic algorithm if necessary
Junctional Escape Beat Traits
Happens late, missing P waves
treat bradicardic pt if necessary
Accelerated Junctions Rhythm
Might have inverted P waves, 60-100 bpm
Junctional Tachycardia
> 100 bpm
Ventricular beat features (IVR)
QRS and ST are deflections
Wide,weird QRS
20-40 bpm
Tx: transcutaneous pacing
