EKG Flashcards
(48 cards)
How much is one small box
0.04 seconds
How much is bog box
0.20
so 5 large boxes = how many seconds
1!
What is the P wave
atrial depoarization
what is the qrs wave
ventricle depolarization
What is the T wave
Ventricular repolarization
What is a U wave
The ventricular after-depolarization
what is the rate calculation
300,150,100,75,60,50
What is the normal PR interval
0.12-0.2 seconds
normal QRS interval
0.06-0.10 seconds
normal QTc
0.30-0.46 seconds
Inverted P waves in lead 1 but upright in 2
right axis deviation
Upright P waves in lead 1 but inverted in 2
Left axis deviation
sawtooth pattern rate of 250-350
atrial flutter
Ventricular tach
large wide humps
PR> 0.20 seconds with a 1:1 conduction
1st degree block
PR interval progressively lengthens then drops
2nd degree type 1
2nd degree type 1 is also called
Wencheback
P waves intermittently blocked
2nd degree type 2
Wide QRS with independent P waves
3rd degree AV block
Is ventricular tachycardia a type of 3rd degree block
No because ventricular tachy QRS are more frequent than P
Right atrial enlargement
P wave height is any limb lead is >2.5 mm
P wave in V1 is biphasic and the initial portion is largest
Left atrial enlargment
P wave in lead 2 is notched with >0.04 sec between peaks
P wave in V1 is biphasic with terminal portion the largest and usually with a negative deflection
Right ventricular hypertrophy
Right axis deviation AND
R wave in V1 is > 7mm tall
