If a unipolar lead wire has an insulation break one would expect the resistance to? -
ANSWER - decrease
for a wire fracture the resistance? - ANSWER - increases

The strength duration curve is dependent on the? - ANSWER - Cell's membrane
capacitance, intracellular and extracellular resistance and threshold voltage.
A patient on flecainide should? - ANSWER - Have their threshold checked
The acute threshold peaking is due to? - ANSWER - Trauma and inflammation
An advantage of bipolar leads is? - ANSWER - They are less susceptible to EMI
The two parameters that are important for ventricular sensing and should be
measured are? - ANSWER - R-wave amplitude and slew rate
If an external PM is set to a sensitivity setting of 5mV and some R-waves go
unsensed, then you should do the following - ANSWER - Increase sensing by
lowering sensitivity to 2.5mV.
Typical acceptable R-wave amplitude values for an acute ventricular lead is? -
ANSWER - 7-15mV
Typical acceptable P wave amplitude values for an acute atrial lead is? - ANSWER -
greater than 2mV
, The slew rate is? - ANSWER - Change in voltage divided by time or the slope of the
EGM
Typical lead resistance range measured in ohms is? - ANSWER - 300-2000 ohms
At the time of implant we want a threshold? - ANSWER - at .5ms to be less than 1
volt for ventricle
When connecting a unipolar PM to the lead in the patient? - ANSWER - place the
PM in the pocket to check pacing
The formula for calculating rate? - ANSWER - 60,000 ms/min - time period in ms.
Hysterisis is? - ANSWER - The interval the PM waits after a sensed beat before
pacing
A SSI PM is one that? - ANSWER - senses and pace in either the atrium or ventricle
and inhibits
You should always check which of the following when programming a unipolar
pacemaker to bipolar configuration? - ANSWER - Bipolar lead is implanted
