AMCA EKG prep: Regularity questions with correct answers

The second step of analyzing an ECG rhythm is to CORRECT ANSWER determine the regularity. The distance between consecutive R waves should CORRECT ANSWER be the same The distance between two consecutive P waves is referred to as the CORRECT ANSWER P-P interval Which lead is a commonly used lead to determine regularity. CORRECT ANSWER II Which of the following methods used to determine the regularity of a rhythm, is among the most accurate and requires you to use a specific device? CORRECT ANSWER Using calipers When the rhythm appears mostly regular but from time to time you see an area where it is irregular, it is called _____ irregular. CORRECT ANSWER occasionally The areas of the ECG tracing which are the same and against which we can measure the other R-R intervals is called the CORRECT ANSWER underlying rhythm Premature complexes CORRECT ANSWER come early in the cardiac cycle Sinus arrest CORRECT ANSWER produces a sudden absence of a P wave, QRS complex, and T wave in an otherwise normal looking rhythm. The rhythm is called slightly irregular when CORRECT ANSWER the P-P intervals and R-R vary just somewhat
