1. Normal Sinus 60-100 bpm
Rhythm all complexes normal and evenly spaced (P, QRS, T)
2. Sinus Bradycar- <60
dia normal sinus rhythm
3. Sinus Tachycardia >100 (100-150)
normal sinus rhythm
4. Asystole - dead
- no electrical activity, only straight line (no rate/pulse)
A dire form of cardiac arrest in which the heart stops beating -- there is no systole
-- and there is no electrical activity in the heart. The heart is at a total standstill.
5. Premature ven- *Wide QRS*
tricular contrac- - may be unifocal or multifocal
tions (PVC's) - will have compensatory pause
- irreg rythm PVCs may be bigeminy, trigeminy, or quadrigeminy
- "run of" PVCS
- 3+ PVCs = Vtach!
6. Ventricular tachy- 150-250 (>120 from onysko)
cardia - ventricle irritated and moving fast
- rapid, bizarre, wide QRS complexes
