Normals
This is the normal length of a PRI
What is 0.12-0.20 seconds?
This is the primary pacemaker of the heart
What is the SA node?
0.06-0.11 seconds is the normal length for this wave on ECG
P-wave
This is considered a low level heart block
What is 1st Degree AV block?
This rhythm has an ECG reading but no associated pulse?
What is pulseless electrical activity?
What is the SA Node?
What is the AV node?
How many SMALL boxes equates to 0.20 seconds on ECG
What is 5 SMALL boxes?
This rhythm has two P-waves without a QRS
What is second degree heart block type II?
This rhythm can have a ventricular rate greater than 250, with wide and bizarre QRS
Depolarization refers to
What is electrical conduction and activation of heart muscles?
This node can conduct at a rate of 40-60
What is the AV node?
0.04 seconds refers to how many boxes on ECG
What is one small box?
This heart block has a progressive elongation of its PRI with an eventual P wave that does not produce a QRS
What is a second degree heart block type I
This rhythm is multifocally irritable, generating uncoordinated chaotic impulses that cause an life threatening irregular rhythm
What is ventricular fibrillation?
Repolarization refers to
What is electrical relaxation or "reset" phase of the heart muscles?
This part of the heart is located in the ventricles of the heart and has no intrinsic rate
This measurement should not be longer than 0.44 seconds
This heart block is regular QRS intervals
What is second degree type II heart block?
These are the two rhythms that should be defibrillated
What is pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation?
This part of the heart has an intrinsic rate of 20-40
This wave represents ventricular repolarization
What is T-wave?
A patient has a PRI greater than 0.20 seconds. This represents what rhythm?
What is a first degree AV block?
This heart block is when no impulses are properly communicating with one another, leading the atrium and ventricles entirely dissociated
What is complete heart block?
This rhythm has slower ventricle rhythm, no P-waves, and a wide and bizarre QRS
What is idioventricular Rhythm?
