Telemetry Exam 39 Questions with Verified Answers
Mechanical activity - CORRECT ANSWER follows electrical activity
Purkinje fibers - CORRECT ANSWER Av goes to bundle of his to where?
Lead placement - CORRECT ANSWER
PR - CORRECT ANSWER 0.12-0.2 seconds
QRS - CORRECT ANSWER 0.04-0.12
QT - CORRECT ANSWER 0.34-0.43
ST - CORRECT ANSWER 0.12
T - CORRECT ANSWER 0.16
p wave - CORRECT ANSWER atrial contraction
QRS complex - CORRECT ANSWER ventricular contraction
T wave - CORRECT ANSWER ventricular repolarization
normal sinus rhythm - CORRECT ANSWER -normal intervals
-rate 60-100
-will walk out
Sinus Bradycardia - CORRECT ANSWER SA is in control
rate < 60 bpm
normal intervals
walks out
sinus tachycardia - CORRECT ANSWER SA is in control
rate higher than 100 bpm
normal intervals
walks out
atrial fibrillation - CORRECT ANSWER SA not in control
random cells are firing in atria
rate determined by AV node
-rate often high: Rapid ventricular response
does not walk out
blood clot - CORRECT ANSWER biggest concern for fibrillation?
atrial flutter - CORRECT ANSWER Sa not in control
one random cell firing rapidly
rate determined by AV node
"saw tooth pattern"
does not walk out
Supraventricular tachycardia - CORRECT ANSWER SA not in control
one cell firing rapidly
rate determined by AV
QRS can be narrow or wide
may look like sinus tach, but its higher
Junctional Rhythm - CORRECT ANSWER Av in control (ventricles working)
rate: 40-60 bpm
inverted or no P wave
walks out
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm - CORRECT ANSWER Av is in control
No p wave
faster than normal
rate greater than 60
walks out
beta blockers - CORRECT ANSWER heart blocks similar cause
First degree heart block - CORRECT ANSWER -slow electrical conduction through atria
*PR greater than 0.2*
rate can be slow or normal
QRS and QT the same
(usually not treated)
Second degree (Wenckebach) - CORRECT ANSWER -slow conduction between SA and AV gets progressively longer until a QRS drops
second degree type 2 - CORRECT ANSWER slow conduction between SA and AV node is consistent until a QRS is dropped
third degree heart block - CORRECT ANSWER -no relationship between SA and AV node
-P wave and QRS have no correlation
*20-30 HR*
only way to fix this? pacemaker
bundle branch block - CORRECT ANSWER -delayed conduction of ventricle rather than atria
-causes a wider QRS complex
-left or right
(usually with additional rhythm)
premature atrial contraction - CORRECT ANSWER Sa node fires prematurely
early beat
often called "NS with PAC"
premature ventricular contraction (PVC) - CORRECT ANSWER ectopic focus in the ventricle fires causing contraction
-random QRS without a P wave
-unifocal= looks the same
-multifocal= looks different
bigeminy - CORRECT ANSWER pattern of PVS, occuring every second beat
(PVCS arent true beats)
trigeminy - CORRECT ANSWER pattern of PVC's
occur every third beat
atrial pacemaker - CORRECT ANSWER works as SA node
looks like a spike before a P wave
ventricular pacemaker - CORRECT ANSWER working as AV node
looks like line before QRS complex
(P wave can be present)
atrioventricular pacemaker - CORRECT ANSWER works as both SA and AV node
looks like a line before both the P and QRS wave
leads - CORRECT ANSWER never put what on top of a pacemaker?
ventricular tachycardia - CORRECT ANSWER neither SA or AV controlling the heart
one ectopic foci is firing in the ventricles
looks like constant PVC's
officially more then 3 PVC's
ventricular fibrillation - CORRECT ANSWER neither SA or AV in control
multiple ectopic foci are firing in the ventricle
coarse vs fine
torsades - CORRECT ANSWER specific form of v-tach but "twists" along the baseline
-can lead to v-fib
-does not look uniform
*must give magnesium*
asystole - CORRECT ANSWER flat line
Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) - CORRECT ANSWER heart not actually pumping
leftover electricity in the heart
