What are the characteristics of AV block type 1 (Mobitz
1/Wenkebach)? - ANSWER-Gradual lengthening of the PR
interval until P wave appears without a QRS complex, cycle
repeats itself
What rhythm is this? - ANSWER-First-degree AV block
What rhythm is this? - ANSWER-Second-degree AV block: Type 1
What is the treatment for second-degree AV block type 1? -
ANSWER--Asymptomatic: no treatment needed
-Symptomatic: Atropine to increase heart rate or temporary pacing
, Page |2
What are the characteristics of AV block second-degree: type 2
(Mobitz 2)? - ANSWER--Fixed PR interval when AV conduction is
present and non conducted P wave when block occurs
-May occur in ratios (2:1, 3:1)
-Regular atrial rhythm, irregular ventricular rhythm
What rhythm is this? - ANSWER-AV block: 2nd degree type 2
(Mobitz 2)
What is the treatment for second-degree AV block type 2? -
ANSWER-temporary pacing until permanent pacemaker is placed
What are the characteristics of third-degree AV block? -
ANSWER--No impulses from atria are conducted to ventricles
-ventricles are stimulated from secondary pacemaker
-Atria and ventricles function independently of each other
What rhythm is this? - ANSWER-third-degree AV block
, Page |3
What is the treatment for third-degree AV block? - ANSWER--
Temporary trancutaneous pacemaker
-Drug therapy to support heart rate and blood pressure (atropine,
epinephrine, dopamine)
-Permanent block requires permanent pacemaker
What is pulseless electrical activity (PEA)? - ANSWER-Organized
electrical activity observed on ECG in a patient with no central
palpable pulse.
What is the treatment for pulseless electrical activity? - ANSWER-
-Immediate CPR
-Oxygen
-Intubation
-Correct precipitating cause
When does pulseless electrical activity usually happen? -
ANSWER-After cardiac arrest resuscitative measures
