EKG Strips Study Exam Questions & Answers.

1. 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.

2. Atrial Fibrillation-Has "chaotic" atrial electrical
activity (no P waves, f-waves instead) with
irregular R-R inter- vals.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

7. Supraventricular Tachycardia presents with a
"nor- mal-narrow" appearing QRS complex
and a rate of greater than 150 bpm.
Remember for heart rates ap- proaching 150
or higher, it will be very likely that the P wave will
be buried. Be prepared to increase the paper
