5 step approach to rhythm analysis
|
Look for p waves, qrs width, reg of rhtythm,p-qrs relationship,heart rate
|
|
Which lead do we look at for rhythm analysis?
|
Lead II
|
|
Do supraventricle or ventricle origin rhythms have a p wave?
|
Supraventricle
|
|
If a rhythm originates in the AV node will it have a P wave? describe the qrs complex
|
No; qrs is narrow
|
|
If the rhythm originates in the ventricle, desribe the P wave and QRS complex
|
No p wave, wide qrs complex
|
 Describe rhythm arthyms and PR interval |
A. NSR B. Sinus bradycardia C.sinus tachycardia D. Sinus arrhythmia
|
|
Supraventricular arrhythmias always originate in the
|
Atria or av node
