Telemetry RhythmsRegular Sinus Rhythm - correct answer P-P regular R-R regular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: 60-100 bpm Sinus Bradycardia - correct answer P-P regular R-R regular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: less than 60 bpm Treatment of Bradycardia - correct answer Assess patient, oxygen, atropine, pacemaker Sinus Tachycardia - correct answer P-P regular R-R regular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: 100-150 bpm Treatment of Tachycardia - correct answer Assess patient, fluid, oxygen, medication, treat the cause! Sinus Arrhythmia - correct answer Rhythm varies with respiration (increases with inspiration & decrease with expiration) P-P irregular R-R irregular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: variable due to change in rate 60-100 bpm Sinus Arrest/Pause - correct answer P-P irregular R-R irregular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: varies with pauses pause is of undetermined length & is not in multiples of the sinus cycle Treatment of Sinus Arrest/Pause - correct answer Treatment if symptomatic: treat cause, atropine, transcutaneous pacing, assess need for permanent pacemaker Sinus Block - correct answer P-P irregular R-R irregular PR interval: 0.12 - 0.20 secs QRS duration: 0.06 - 0.10 secs HR: varies with episode of block multiple pauses in the rhythm marches out Treatment of Sinus Block - correct answer If symptomatic: atropine, assess for need for permanent pacemaker Sick Sinus Syndrome - correct answer Alternating sinus bradycardia & sinus tachycardia Usually encountered in elderly, but may affect any age group Treatment of Sick Sinus Syndrome - correct answer Pacemaker, treating bradycardia usually eliminates the need to compensate, so tachycardia doesn't occur
