Baylor scott & white ekg test (2025) comprehensive questions and verified answers
(detailed & elaborated) actual exam 2025 test!!
what are the 7 lethal rhythms? - -v fib, v tach, asystole, PEA, idioventricular, 2nd degree T2,
complete heart block
--#4 - -P-R interval
-- - -NSR (Normal Sinus Rhythm)
--<60bpm, TX: pacing, atropine, treat reversible causes - -Sinus bradycardia
-->100-<160, TX: identify and tx underlying cause - -Sinus tachycardia
-- - -sinus arrest
--looks like sinus arrest, TX: underlying cause, P waves are different - -PACs
--P waves sawtooth, TX: support airway, ditiaziam, bblockers - -atrial flutter
--wavy P waves, TX: with HypoTN use cardioversion and anticoagulant - -a fib
--youll see the J, rate 40-60bpm, PR interval <0.12, P waves inverted! TX: same as
bradycardia - -junctional rhythm
--junctional rhythm rate is? - -<60bpm
--no visible P wave, if symptomatic synchronized cardioversion, vagal maneuver, adenosine -
-SVT
--T wave in opposite direction, wide bizarre QRS, will always be with NSR or something like
that - -PVC
--no P waves, WIDE QRS, T wave opposite - -Idioventricular Rhythm
--accelerated idioventricular rhythm is anything greater than? - -<40bpm
--DEFIB - -v fib
--do ur ghost have a pulse? if yes-adenosine, no-CPR, O2, epi! - -v tach
--only one with no extra P wave, often confused with NSR, PR interval is >0.20 - -1st degree
AV block
--inconsistent PR interval, R-R inconsistent
INCONSISTENCY - -2nd degree AV block T1
