EKG BASICS
This is the frequency of a Normal Sinus Rhythm
What is 60-100bpm
The placement of electrodes in 4th intercostal space on left side of sternum and right side, 5th intercostal in mid-clavicular, etc. called
What is the correct lead placement of EKG
The chest lead V1 is located at what intercostal space
4th
A heart rate slower than 60bpm
Bradycardia
The bottle in the 3-bottle system is used to measure fluid drainage from the chest
What is the collection bottle
This wave represents depolarization of the atria
What is the P wave
The electrode placement in the right arm, left arm, left leg and right leg
What is the correct limb lead EKG placement
Where is the grounding lead located
Right leg
A heart rate that is faster than 100bpm
Tachycardia
This is the proper insertion site for chest tube to evacuate a pneumothorax
What is the 2nd-3rd, intercostal space, mid-clavicular line
This term means the impulse originated from somewhere other than the SA node
What is ectopic focus
The EKG abnormalities which are movements that is not related to the electrical activity of the heart
What is artifact
What leads are augmented
aVR, aVL, aVF
Irregular heart activity resulting in a loss of rhythm
Arrhythmia
This determines the amount of negative pressure applied to the chest
What is the water height in the suction control/bottle chamber
Ventricular repolarization is represented by this segment
What is the ST segment
The irregularities in the heart rhythm
What is arrhythmia
What lead shows the heart more clearly than any other leads
Lead L
A beat originating outside the SA node
Ectopic beat
Continuous bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates this
What is an air leak
These leads are known as bipolar lead
What is the standard limb leads
A diagnostic tool that displays the hearts electrical in wave forms
What is an EKG
What leads record the hearts voltage from front to back
V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6
Ventricular rate of 150 to 300 bpm
Ventricular flutter
This bottle in the 3-bottle system ensures one way movement of air
What is the water seal system
