Fluid overload
100
Chest pain, dyspnea with palpitations, and shortness of breath
The “classic symptoms” that would lead to an ECG being ordered include:
100
First degree heart block is determined by a PR interval that is consistently greater than ______ small boxes in length?

You are performing chest compressions on an intubated patient in the emergency department and notice that the ETCO2 is 25 mmHg. What should you do?
Continue performing good CPR
100
If a beat originates from the ventricles, the QRS will be:
Wide and Weird (wider than 0.12s)
200
the normal range for mean arterial pressure?
80 to 100 mmHg
200
What part of the impulse conducting system is A?
Sinoatrial node
200
this arrythmia is characterized by rapid depolarization of atria from ectopic focus (250 to 350/min); is typically caused by only one ectopic focus which leads to each P wave having same appearance; has a characteristic sawtooth pattern; numerous P waves are present for each QRS; RR interval may be regular or may vary-depending on ability of impulse to pass through AV node.
what is Atrial flutter
200
what letter represents the emptying/exhalation of anatomic dead space? 
A
