Group 1
V-Fib and V-Tach
What are the only 2 shockable rhythms?
What do you do if the pt has lotion or oil on their skin
Use an alcohol wipe and wipe where the electrode goes
Which Wave is shown when the atria contract?
P-Wave
What is the order of conduction in the heart?
What is SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, Left and Right Bundle Branches, Purkinje Fibers?
What is the order of the heart's electrical system shown in a normal EKG cardiac cycle?
SA node, AV node, Bundle Of His, Right and Left Bundle branches, Purkinje fibers
What is Parkinson's?
What is happening mechanically when the t-wave is shown?
Ventricular repolarization
What is an arrythmia?
What is Irregular heartbeat?
Who would need a right sided EKG
a right sided MI, kid less than 8 years old, dextrocardia
A non-invasive test procedure with wearable device.
What is a Holter Moniter?
Where do you place an electrode if the pt has a bka
above the amputation site and symmetrical with the other side
What is shown on an EKG when the ventricles contract?
QRS Complex
What is Ischemia?
What is no blood flow?
What is the difference between single and multiple channel EKG?
What is single channel EKG looks at one lead at a time while multiple channel EKG looks at multiple leads at once?
This causes AC interference (aka 60-cycle interference).
What is crossed wires?
How are posterior EKG and right sided EKG different when documenting from a normal left sided EKG
Posterior EKG- V1-V8
Right sided- add an R to the name V1R-V6R
Is there more positive or negative deflections in one cycle?
Positive
How are the 12 leads (views) created from 10 leads (wires)?
What is 6 wires connected to each vectre electrode creating one view each, and 3 limb leads creating 6 views.
What is the stylus?
What is recording the motion of the graph by burning the paper?
The total amount of stress tests and their names.
What is 4, exercise test, echocardiogram stress test, nuclear stress test, cardiac rehab stress test?
Where do you place the electrodes for a right sided EKG
V1- 4th intercostal space left sternal boarder
V2- 4th intercostal space right sternal boarder
V4- 5th intercostal space right mid clavicular
V3- between V2 and V4
V6- mid axillary 5th intercostal space
V5- in between V4 and V6
Which wave is shown when the SA node fires?
P wave
Why do we use electrodes?
What is establishing a reliable connection to the conduction in the heart, so it is readable on the EKG.
What is the speed, time, and standardization of EKG paper?
What is 25mm/sec, 10 seconds, and used to make sure the EKG is accurate—2 large boxes is 1mV?
