What are four categories of Arrhythmias of the sinus node?
Normal sinus rhythm
Sinus bradycardia
Sinus tachycardia
Sinus arrhythmia
1
Sinus rhythm:
Regularity
Regular
2
Sinus rhythm:
Rate
60-100
3
Sinus rhythm:
P wave regularity
Uniform
Infront of every QRS complex
4
Sinus rhythm:
PRI time
.12-.20 second
5
Sinus rhythm:
QRS time

6
When is a rhythm sinus bradycardia?
If it follows all the rules of normal sinus rhythm EXCEPT the rate is less than 60
7

What is sinus arrhythmia?
It follows the rules of normal sinus rhythm except the rate changes with the pts respirations
19
In a sinus arrhythmia what happens when the pt breathes in?
The rate increases
