CNUR 300 Test Study Guide with 100%
Complete Solutions
Cheyne-Stokes respiration
pattern of breathing characterized by a gradual increase of depth and sometimes rate to
a maximum level, followed by a decrease, resulting in apnea
Central neurogenic hyperventilation
a sustained pattern of rapid and deep breathing caused by injury to the brain
Apneustic breathing
A sustained pattern of rapid, regular deep, respirations
cluster breathing
Clusters of several breaths with irregular periods of apnoea between clusters
Ataxic breathing
Respirations that are completely irregular and pattern and depth with irregular periods of
apnoea
Sinus Arrhythmia
Rhythm Irregular but follows pattern
Sinus Tachycardia
>100 bpm
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
, >180 bpm
P-unable to count
Sinus Bradycardia
<60 bpm
Atrial flutter
Rate:Atrial 250-350
P: Irregular or absent, often "saw tooth"
atrial fibrillation
A: 350-450 (atria quivering)
- irreg-irreg rhythm (R-RI=irreg)
*unsure/no P-wave (non-distinguishable)*
- irreg rhythm BUT reg QRS!
First-Degree Atrioventricular Block
P- >.20
Third degree AV block
Ventricular rate - <60
QRS>.10
premature ventricular contraction (PVC)
No p wave
QRS >.10
T wave flipped
ventricular tachycardia
