Part 2 Topic 3: Dysrhythmias
arrhythmia= deviations from normal cardiac rate or rhythm - ANS-Cardiac Dysrhythmia
damage to the conduction system
electrolyte disturbances
exaggerated autonomic effect
fever
hypoxia
infection
drug induced - ANS-cardiac dysrhythmia causes
ECG lead ll-traces the different types of erythmias and everything is recorded using this
Holter monitor 24hr
event recorder-intermittent problems-can stay with weeks-months - ANS-monitoring of
dysrhythmia
according to rate-tachyarrhthmias >100/m
bradyarrythmias <60/min - ANS-classifications according to rate
regular and irregular - ANS-classification according to rhythm
supraventriculare-atrial/junctional
ventricular - ANS-classification according to origin
fast heart rate with any type that originates at or above AV node with a rate >150/min all
conducted to ventricles that respond
to every single beat
no distinct P wave-normal QRS
wolf parkinson white - ANS-supraventricular tachycardia
slow
abnormal delay or stoppage of conduction at AV node or bundle of HIS=atrioventricular -
ANS-heart block
above ventricles at or above AV node
rate >150/min all conducted to ventricles
no distinct P wave
special type WPW syndrome - ANS-Supraventricular tachycardia origin
1st and 2nd degree=incomplete
3rd=complete - ANS-Heart block types
conduction delay and is consistently prolonged
PR interval >0.2 seconds - ANS-first degree heart block
type 1 (mobitz 1)
type 2 mobitz 2 - ANS-second degree AV block
progressive prolongation of the PR interval until QRS is dropped - ANS-type one second degree
av block
intermittently non-conducted P waves not preceded by progressive PR prolongation - ANS-type
2 second degree AV block
