Advent Health EKG (Latest 2023/ 2024 Update) Questions and Verified A nswers with Diagram s and Illustrations| 100% Correct Q: normal si nus rhythm (NSR) Answer: Impulse sta rts in the SA Node • Rate: Atrial & Ventricular 60 -100 [WNL] • Rhythm: Atrial and Ventricular are regular • P waves: Normal; each followed by QRS • PRI: 0.12 - 0.20 [WNL] • QRS: 0.04 - 0.10 [WNL] Q: Sinus Tachycardia Answer: These rhythms follow all the criteria for NSR except for the rate. • Rate: Atrial and Ventricular 100 -150 Q: Sinus Bradycardia Answer: These rhythms follow all the criteria for NSR except for the rate. • Rate: Atrial and Ventricular < 60 Q: Sinus Ar rythmia Answer: • Impulse sta rts in the SA Node but activity varies with respi rations • Rate: Atrial and Ventricular are 60 -100, but varies (sl ower or faster) • Rhythm: Atrial and Ventricular is irregular (P -P and R -R inte rvals are irregular) • P waves: Normal and each is followed by a QRS • PRI: constant and within no rmal limits • QRS: within no rmal limits Q: Sinus Pause/Arrest Answer: Unde rlying r hythm meets c riteria for a si nus rhythm [SR, S B, ST] except for the missed beat(s) or pause • Unde rlying r hythm must first be identified! Q: narrow compl ex supr aventricular ta chycardia (NCSVT) Answer: Impulse o riginates ab ove the ventricles • NCSVT is an umbrella te rm for rhythms meeting the following c riteria 1.Regular Ventricular r hythm & rate > 150 2.QRS: 0.04 - 0.10 [no rmal limits] • P waves may be seen but are often lost in the T waves: Atrial rate, Atrial rhythm and PRI is non -measu rable [N/A] Q: Atrial Flutter Answer: The impulse o riginates in the At ria • The At rial rate is 250 -350 and r hythm regular • The PRI is not measu rable (N/A) - Characteristic s aw-tooth wave. • The Ventricular r hythm m ay be regular or irregular • QRS within no rmal limits • If the Ventricular rate is < 100 it is controlled At rial Flutte r; if the Ventricular rate is > 100 it is uncontrolled At rial flutter
