Heart Blocks
I am a regular rhythm and my PR interval is >0.20. I have 1 P wave before each QRS and my PR Interval is regular
What is 1st degree AV Block
I am irregularly irregular
I am atrial fibrillation.
What is the best way to determine regularity?
What is measuring the R to R wave?
My P wave is inverted either before the QRS, buried with in the QRS, or after the QRS and my rate is 70
What is accelerated Junctional Rhythm?
I am a calcium channel blocker commonly used in A Fib
What is diltiazem?
I have no relation between the P Waves and the QRS Complexes and my rate is slow
What is 3rd Degree Heart Block
I have multiple saw tooth P waves before each QRS
What is A Flutter
Where does the impulse for SR begin?
What is the SA node?
My P wave is inverted either before the QRS, buried within the QRS, or inverted the QRS and my rate is 102
What is junctional tachycardia?
I am a beta blocker used for SVT
What is metropolol/labetolol?
My PR interval progressively lengthens until there is a skipped QRS, then the pattern starts over again
What is 2nd degree Heart Block Type 1
I am a treatment for SVT a nurse can initiate on their own.
What are vagal maneuvers?
I am a regular sinus rhythm with a rate below 60
what is Sinus Bradycardia?
I am an early beat coming from the AV node/junction
What is a PJC?
I am a medication given for SVT and I need the provider present at the bedside to administer, along with a bedside monitor.
What is adenosine?
I have 1 conducted P wave followed by a nonconducted P wave-so there are 2P waves for every QRS
What is 2:1 AV Block
I am a delivery of an electrical shock to the heart timed to occur during a specific time in the QRS complex
What is Synchronized Cardioversion?
What is a rhythm that increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration?
What is Sinus Arrythmia?
I am a beat that originates in the AV Junction and appears late.
What is a Junctional Escape Beat?
I can be used for 2nd Degree Heart Block type 1, but I can further lower heart rate in 2nd Degree Heart Block type 2 and 3rd Degree Heart Block
What is atropine?
My PR intervals are constant and there are more P waves then QRS complexes with several blocked P waves. The QRS complexes are irregular.
What is 2nd degree Heart Block type 2
I am an early beat where the atria fires before the next SA node fires.
What is a PAC?
What is the beat where the SA Node generates a rhythm, but it is blocked as it exits?
What is Sinus Pause/Block?
I am 25-30% of the cardiac output.
What is atrial kick?
I am a continuous infusion that can be used for third degree Heart Block
What is epinephrine or dopamine drips?
