1. Normal Sinus Normal beat: Evenly spaced
Rhythm
2. Normal Sinus - Treatment: None-continue to monitor
Rhythm Treat- - Causes: Being healthy
ment and Causes
3. Bradycardia - Bradycardia is below 60/min
- Memory trick: Brady bunch- old tv show (slow times)
4. Bradycardia - Treatment: Atropine Only if symptomatic showing low perfusion (pale, cool,
Treatment and clammy)
causes - Causes: Vagal maneuver (bearing down)
- Memory trick: Atropine is like a heart rate high like on top of the PINE tree
5. Bradycardia - beta blockers
medication - Calcium channel blockers
6. Ventricular Fibril- V-Fib: Fib is flopping/squiggly line
lation (V-Fib)
7. Ventricular Fib- - Treatment: V-Fib-Defib #1- Defibrillation immediately Stop CPR to do it & before
rillation (V-Fib) drugs/meds
Treatment and - No synchronization needed
Causes - Causes: Untreated V Tach, Post MI, electrolyte imbalance, and proarrhythmic
meds
8. Ventricular Fibril- LAP: lidocaine, amiodarone, Procainamide
lation Meds
9. Ventricular tachy- V-tach memory trick: V Tach Tombstone pattern
cardia (V-tach): The Cs: if we see it count the pulse, cardiovert
Memory Trick * Synchronize first and sedation
