EKG Strip
P Wave represents
P wave represents Atrial Depolarization
Female Average BPM
55-95bpm
Neonate (awake) & Asleep heart rate
awake; 100-180bpm
asleep; 80-160bpm
tachycardia
heart rate over 100 bpm
SUDEP AKA
sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
QRS complex represents
Ventricular Depolarization
Normal BP
<120 systolic <80 diastolic
Infant awake & asleep bpm
awake; 100-160bpm
asleep; 75-160
Fibrillation
a type of irregular heartbeat
what type of seizures are accompanied by EKG changes by 100% of the time
TLE (Temporal lobe epilepsy)
QRS Interval represents
QRS interval represents the period it takes for the ventricles to depolarize
Pre hypertension
120-139 systolic, 80-89 diastolic
Toddler awake & asleep bpm
awake; 80-110bpm
asleep; 60-90bpm
bradycardia
heart rate less than 60 bpm
most common heart rate pattern seen during a seizure and why is it believed to be that pattern?
ictal tachycardia believed to be due to the ictal discharge in the region that controls the sympathetic function
T wave occurs when
T wave occurs when blood is ejected from the ventricles
Hypertension stage 1
140-159 systolic, 90-99 diastolic
preschooler awake bpm
75-110 bpm
atrial flutter
abnormal heart rhythm because the atria of the heart beat too quickly
what is ventricular fibrillation
happens when the ventricles quiver instead of beating
preventing the heart to pump the blood
late ventricular diastole occurs when...
when the chambers relax and the blood fills to the ventricles passively
cycle starts all over again
Hypertension stage 2
anything higher than 160/100
Adolescent awake & asleep HR
awake; 60-90 bpm
asleep; 50-90 bpm
PVC (premature ventricular contraction)
when the hearts ventricles contract too early
what can V-Fib lead to
cardiac arrests
sudden loss of consciousness
loss of pulse
