What is Step #1?
|
Determine the Rate
- Calculation Techniques - Use 6-sec count for irregular heart beats |
|
What is Step #2?
|
Evaluate the rhythm (Measure between RR intervals)
- Regular - normal - Irregular regular - ECG doesn't look normal, but regular pattern - Irregular - sporadic (fibrillation) |
|
What is Step #3?
|
Is there a P wave for every QRS?
- No P wave means no atrial blood flow (bad) - Needs to come before QRS complex - AV conduction ratio - number of P waves to QRS complex (1:1 normal) |
|
What is Step #4?
|
Measure the PR Interval
- Time from SA to Bundle of His (conduction blocks cause problem here) - Onset at end of P wave, ends at beginning of QRS segment - Normal - 0.12 - 0.20 sec |
|
What is Step #5?
|
Examine QRS complex
|
|
What is Step #6?
|
Interpret the rhythm
- Possible problems listed above |
