SA Node - 1st
60-100
AV Node - 2nd
40-60
Bundle of His - 3rd
40-45
Right and Left Bundle Branches - 4th
40-45
Purkinje Fibers - 5th
20-50
1 Small Box - 0.04 sec
1 Big Box - 0.20 sec
Junctional Rhythms - SA Node DID NOT FIRE
AV Node fired
NO P WAVE bc SA node didn't fire
Narrow QRS
P Wave - Amplitude 0.5-2.5 mm
Will be shorter than T wave
Shows firing of SA node
QRS - 0.06-0.10 sec SHOULD BE <0.12 sec
Wide QRS: delay in ventricular contraction, delay of conduction through bundle branches or purkinje fibers
BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK or BLOCK IN PURKINJE FIBERS (idioventricular)
Calculate Regular Rate - 1500/ # boxes R-R
Calculate Irregular Rate - # of Rs in 6 sec strip X 10
Unifocal PVCs - Only 1 shape PVC
Bigeminy - PVC occurs every OTHER beat
Trigeminy - PVC occurs every THIRD beat
Couplet - 2 PVCs together
Triplet - 3 PVCs together
Multifocal - Multiple shapes
Monomorphic V Tach - Same Shapes V Tach
Polymorphic V Tach - Different Shapes V tach
Coarse V Fib - Chopy but not as high as polymorphic V tach
Fine V Fib - Fine and fibrillatory
Idioventricular Rhythms - Only purkinje fibers firing
WIDE QRS always
Atrially Paced - Spike comes before P
Ventricularly Paced - Spike comes before QRS and QRS will be wide
AV Paced - Spike before P and before QR
Failure to Capture - Spikes with no QRS
Failure to Sense - Spikes happen regardless of QRS on their own
How to determine the rhythm - Regular or irregular?
Rate?
P before every QRS? QRS for every P?
QRS wide or narrow?
