Q
Idioventricular Rhythm
A
Impulse begins below AV node
SA node was not able to generate impulse or not conducted properly = Purkinje fibers compenstated
2
Q
Idioventricular Rhythm Tracing
A
No P waves
No PR interval
QRS bizzare
Wide intervals btwn QRS
20-40bpm
3
Q
Ventricular Fibrillation
A
Ventricles contract in rapid, uncoordinated manner = quiver
Death if untreated
4
Q
Ventricular Fibrillation Tracing
A
Chaotic
No ventricular depolarization or contraction
No P wave, PR interval, or QRS complex
Impossible to determine heart rate
Indeterminant rhythm
