1. ABC's of - Rhythm
Arrhyth- mias - Rate
- "P" Wave
- PR
Interval
- QRS
2. Measure the Duration
Inter- vals
3. Normal PR Interval 0.12-o.20 s (3 - 5 small
squares)
4. Normal QRS Com- 0.06 - 0.10 s
plex
5. Normal P Height -
wave height <2.5mm
and width Width -
6. Normal QT Interval<0.11 s
0.42 s
7. Which arrhyth- - Sinus
mias have Rhythms
regular - Junctional
rhythms? Rhythms
- Ventricular
Rhythms
8. Which arrhythmias --Heart
AtrialBlocks
Fibrillation
have Irregularly Ir-- Atrial Rhythms
- Multifocal Atrial Rhythms
regular rhythms? - Atrial Flutter (Variable
