EKG Jeopardy

Cardiac Anatomy

100

What is the strongest chamber of the heart?

Left ventricle

200

This is the first chamber in the process in which blood flows through the heart. 

Right atrium

300

The tricuspid valve is in between which two chambers?

Right atrium and right ventricle

400

This is the structure that allows blood through the pulmonary veins. 

Pulmonary valve

500

These structures oxygenate the myocardium.

Coronary arteries

Which rhythm am I?

100

I have a rounded and upright P wave in lead II

I have one P wave for each QRS

I am evenly spaced

My heart rate is 60-100 bpm

My PR interval is 0.12-0.20 sec

My QRS interval is 0.12 sec or less

I am normal sinus rhythm

200

I satisfy all six criteria for normal sinus rhythm except my R-R's are unevenly spaced. 

I am sinus arrhythmia

300

My R-R's are unevenly spaced and my P waves are not very discernable. 

I am atrial fibrillation

400

My heart rate is 75 bpm and my P waves are inverted.

I am accelerated junctional rhythm. 

500

My heart rate is 38 bpm. I do not have P waves. My QRS intervals are 0.20 sec. 

Idioventricular rhythm

Miscellaneous

100

On a telemetry pack, this electrode is placed in the location of V1. You can remember this with the saying "chocolate is close to your heart". What color is the wire clip?

Brown

200

This is the anatomical location for V6. 

Fifth intercostal space on the midaxillary line

300

How many views of the heart are on a 12-lead EKG?

12

400

How do you use the 6-second method to calculate the heart rate for an irregular rhythm?

Count the number of R waves in between 30 large boxes and multiply by 10

500

This is the normal respiration rate for an adult. 

12-20
