Atrial Fibrillation - Rhythm: irregularly irregular** - Rate: slow or fast - No identifiable P's** - QRS usually narrow but may be wide with conduction defect Atrial Flutter -Characterized by "saw tooth" atrial activity -Conduction ratio 2:1, 4:1, 8:1. - If >150 bpm, may seriously compromise cardiac output. - Rate: atrial rate 250-400 (generally 300bpm) 00:07 01:13 Asystole - Ventricular standstill, no electrical activity, no cardiac output - Occurs in c...

Dysrhythmias (Including EKG Strips) Latest 2023 Graded A+ Normal Sinus Rhythm Refers to a rhythm that originates in the SA node @ a rate of 60-100 BPM and follows normal conduction pattern of the cardiac cycle. Sinus Bradycardia The conduction pathway is the same as that in sinus rhythm but the SA node fires @ a rate of less than 60 BPM. May be normal in athletes. Symptomatic Sinus Bradycadia S/S Pale, cool skin, hypotension, weakness, angina, dizziness or syncope, confusion or disorientation...

ADVANCED CLINICAL CONCEPTS HESI HINTS DOCUMENT • ARDS is an unexpected, catastrophic pulmonary complication occurring in a person with no previous pulmonary problems. The mortality rate is high (50%) • In ARDS, a common laboratory finding is lowered PO2. However, these clients are not very responsive to high concentrations of oxygen. • Think about the physiology of the lungs by remembering PEEP: Positive End Expiratory Pressure is the instillation and maintenance of small amoun...
