What is sinus bradycardia?
This rhythm is View Image
|
What is a pacemaker
A patient with this rhythm will need this intervention View Image
|
What is Check for a pulse- could be PEA
You see this rhythm on the monitor during a code. This is the next thing you should do. View Image
|
What is Torsades de Pointe
Patients with QT elongation are at risk for this arrhythmia

|
What is 10 seconds
The longest amount of time you should spend checking for a pulse during CPR

What is third degree AV block?
This rhythm is View Image
|
What is Atropine?
The drug most commonly given to treat patient with this rhythm who are symptomatic View Image
|
What is Waveform capnography
This is how rescuers can evaluate the effectiveness of chest compressions
|
What is respiratory rate
Highly sensitive indicator of declining patient condition that changes before blood oxygenation values (Pulse ox)
|
Ventricular tachycardia
This dangerous rhythm must be addressed immediately View Image
|
What is second degree AV block, type two?
This rhythm is View Image
|
What is adenosine?
This drug is used to treat stable supraventricular tachycardia
|
What is ineffective chest compressions
During a resuscitation attempt, waveform capnography values less than 10 indicate this
|
What is synchronized cardioversion?
Adenosine is given to a patient with uncontrolled tachycardia. The patient's heart rate remains high. I would expect this to be the next intervention
|
What are ectopic beats
The name for beats that are generated from areas of the heart outside of the sinus node
|
What is an idioventricular rhythm?
This rhythm indicates significant damage to the heart's conduction system and will likely progress to asystole View Image
