Q

QT

S-T

during the isoelectric phase between the S and T waves, the intracellular potential in ventricular muscle cells is

A

25mm/sec
1mm correspond 0.04s

0.1mV = 1mm

.12-.2s P wave to the start of the QRS complex

0.12 seconds.

The Q-T interval is measured from the start of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave.
It approximates to the ventricular refractory period and is normally 0.42 seconds.

S-T segment is measured from the end of the QRS complex to the start of the T wave.

Q

ecg electrodes

how is there accuracy reduced

inproved

A

signal arrives = current

cause chem change surface - inaccuracies second altered impedance

inaccuracy resting skin - impedence vartion - moisture
potential generation

Inaccuracy reduced - silver electrode contact cl ion in gel solution

large electrode surface area reduces inaccuracy

42
Q

Drift occurs

what are the types

A

whne over a period displayed value differes from true value

offset drfit occurs - dispayed value varies constant from true value
correct singe point calib

gradient - varies true diff amt at dif times
less rapidly
but 2 point calibration required

43
Q

What uses EEG

A

BIS

Auditory evoked potential

Compressed spectral array

44
Q

EEG waves

A

range 1-100uv

4 waves

a- normal parieto occip at rest
depressesd GA

B frontal
decrease with age
highest freq
(d y a B) low to high

Delta - children + sleep

Y sometimes abnormal

45
Q

Ultrasound dopler effect

sound move closer velocity

wavelegnth

pitch

can we hear us

A

Sound move towards observer - velocity unchanged
- wavelength and freq vary inverseley

wavelength decreases, frequency increase
sound higher pitched

US - very high freq low singal wave too high for human ear
