◉ Atrial Flutter -has a "saw tooth or picket fence" atrial pattern (no P
waves, F-waves in stead that may be in a ratio) between the QRS
complexes. Answer:
◉ Atrial Fibrillation-Has "chaotic" atrial electrical activity (no P
waves, f-waves instead) with irregular R-R intervals. Answer:
◉ PJCs cause the rhythm to be irregular. The P wave is inverted if it
can be seen. It may occur before, during or after the QRS. The P wave
will not be seen due to its low voltage. Answer:
◉ Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P
wave may occur before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for
this rhythm is 40-60 bpm. Answer:
◉ Accelerated Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P
wave. The P wave may occur before, during or after the QRS
complex. The rate for this rhythm is 60-100 bpm. Answer:
, ◉ Junctional Tachycardia Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P
wave. The P wave may occur before, during or after the QRS
complex. The rate for this rhythm is 100-180 bpm Answer:
◉ Supraventricular Tachycardia presents with a "normal-narrow"
appearing QRS complex and a rate of greater than 150 bpm.
Remember for heart rates approaching 150 or higher, it will be very
likely that the P wave will be buried. Be prepared to increase the
paper speed for this rhythm. Answer:
◉ First Degree AV Block, the PR interval is constant and measures
greater than 0.20 second. Answer:
◉ Second Degree AV Blocok Mobitz I (Wenkebach) has a cyclical
prolonging PR interval until the QRS is dropped. Then the cycle
begins again. ***Remember the clue "lengthen, lengthen drop
Wenkebach. Answer:
◉ Second Degree (AV) Block has a constant PR interval with blocked
QRS complexes Answer:
◉ Second Degree (AV) Block has a constant PR interval with blocked
QRS complex (2) Answer:
◉ Third Degree (Complete) Heart Block, the P-P and R-R intervals
are regular (constant) but firing at different rates. Answer:
