What is Normal Sinus Rhythm
100
Rate control medication used to treat A Fib, block which node in the cardiac circuit
What is the AV NODE
100
A high energy shock which is delivered as soon as the shock button is pushed is called______ Hint..This means the shock can fall randomly on the QRS complex
What is Defibrillation or unsynchronized cardioversion
100
The absence of organized atrial contraction promotes blood stasis in the atria which increases the risk of this
What is a thrombus formation or Stroke
100
The first question to ask in the Adult tachycardia with a pulse is the patient____________ or ___________
What is the patient Stable or Unstable
200
The follow characterizes this rhythm. Rate: Greater than or equal to 100. Rhythm: Regular. P waves: Upright, consistent, and normal in morphology (if no atrial disease) P–R interval: Between 0.12–0.20 seconds and shortens with increasing heart rate QRS complex: Less than 0.12 seconds, consistent, and normal in morphology
What is sinus tachycardia
200
This drug may be used initially to slow HR that has a rapid rhythm with narrow complex
What is Adenosine
200
Prior to cardioversion, you must perform this function to deliver a safe shock
What is press the sync button
200
This is the most common heart disease associated with Atrial Fibrillation
What is Hypertension
200
Signs and Symptoms of an unstable patient with Afib may include these
What are Hypotension, AMS, Signs of Shock, Chest discomfort, Acute heart failure?
300
This ECG is irregulary irregular
What is Atrial Fibrillation
300
Calcium channel blockers use to treat A Fib such as Diltiazem, work by controlling the rate of the heart
What is True?
300
The initial recommended energy for converting unstable Afib using a monophasic current is
What is 100 Joules
300
Patients presenting to the Emergency Department with AFib may have these symptoms
What are palpitations, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, lightheadedness, fatigue, weakness
300
Prior to administering Adenosine to slow the HR in a rapid narrow complex rhythm, one perform this
What is are vagal maneuvers
400
This rhythm has characteristic saw tooth waves
What is A flutter
400
This category of drug may be used in Afib to prevent clot formation and risk of stroke
What are anticoagulants?
400
One should consider administering this prior to cardioverting a patient
What is sedation?
400
A two word phrase used to describe the rhythm that AFib produce
What is irregularly irregular?
400
Amiodarone IV may be used to control what in Afib
What is the rhythm
500
This ECG will have St elevations
What is Acute MI
500
This rate controlling medication is indicated to treat AF in patients with heart failure.
What are Digoxin
500
Failing to press the sync button prior to cardioversion can precipitate this life threatening arrhythmia
What is ventricular fibrillation
500
These waves are absent on EKG in AF and helps distinguish from multifocal atrial tachycardias
What are "P" waves
500
If the first dose of Adenosine does not work in slowing the HR, a second dose of ______mg may be administered in 1-2 min
What is 12mg
