Phys lab practical 2 :) Flashcards
What are the waves/intervals of reading a heart rate?
P Q R S T
What does a P wave look like?
The little bump up before the big spike
What does Q look like?
Little dip before the big spike
What does R look like?
BIG SPIKE :D
What does S look like?
Big drop after the big spike
What does a T wave look like
A weird medium sized hill AFTER the big spike and big dip
From top to bottom, what are the three screens on IX-TA for looking at the heart?
EKG, Pulse, Heart rate
What should you click to make the display zoom out on IX-TA
The 2 mountains
What should you click to zoom in on IX-TA?
The 1 mountain
What does autoscale look like on IX-TA?
Magnifying glass with up/down arrow in it (it’s to the right of the 2 mountains)
How do you find the R-wave amplitude?
Bottom and the peak of the big spike (R)
How do you find the beat period?
Top of big spike to top of next big spike (r-r)
How do you find the heart rate?
60/beat period in minutes (its given in msecs)
How do you find P-R intervals?
Before P (little bump before spike) and before R (big spike)
How do you find the Q-T intervals?
After Q (little dip before big spike) and after T(weird medium hill after big spike+dip)
How do you find the T-P intervals?
After T (weird medium hill after big spike + dip) and before P (little bump before big spike)
How do you find the R-pulse intervals?
Top panel:
Top of R peak (big spike)
Middle panel:
Top of the next pulse (which is shortly after the R peak in the top panel)
How do you find the pulse wave amplitude?
MIDDLE PANEL:
Bottom and top of peak
How do you tell on IX-TA when the person started exercising?
Zoom out and there’ll be a big black line
What are the volumes/capacity names of reading respiration?
Tidal volume (TV)
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Residual volume (RV)
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
Vital capacity (VC)
Total lung capacity (TLC)
Where would you find the tidal volume?
Little waves before the big hill
Where would you find the total lung capacity?
Top to bottom of the whole graph
Where would you find the IRV?
Top of TV to top of graph
Where would you find the ERV?
Bottom of tidal volume to the bottom of the medium sized dip after the big hill
