ECG Basics: Baseline Respiratory Artifact Submitted byDawnon Sat, 12/21/2024 - 17:11 This strip shows normal sinus rhythm at a rate of 95 bpm. The isoelectric line shows the effects of the patient's breathing. Placing the limb electrodes on the limbs rather than on the chest will eliminat...
The procedure begins with determining the heart rate, which is indicated at the top of the rhythm strip printout that must be verified by the nurse. The second step involves the regularity of the atrial and ventricular rates, while the following step is the assessment of the P wave. Other ...
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood. Arrest, often caused by electrical short circuits called arrhythmias in the heart muscle, is usually fatal, though automatic defibrillators can shock the cardiac muscle back into the right rhythm, allowing a patient who has fallen d...
His autopsy indicated that he died because of a "sudden heart rhythm disturbance caused by an abnormally enlarged heart." Georgia's chief medical examiner, Dr. Kris Sperry, said Collier's heart "was above the accepted limits, even for a man of his size", and said the organ was about ...
55) A client’s electrocardiogram strip shows atrial and ventricular rates of 80 complexes per minute. The PR interval is 0.14 second, and the QRS complex measures 0.08 second. The nurse interprets this rhythm is: Normal sinus rhythm
6 second strip is multiplied by 10 to approximate the heart rate; normal sinus rhythm is 60 to 100. Elevation of the ST segment is a sign of cardiac ischemia and is unrelated to the rhythm. The QRS duration should be less than 0.12 second; the PR interval should be 0.12 to 0.20 ...
Normal Sinus Rhythm Normal sinus rhythm results from the initiation of an electrical signal (the cardiac impulse) by cells of the sinus node at a rate appropriate to the age and state of activity of the individual, and then the propagation of that signal in an orderly manner through the atri...
