Idioventricular rhythms - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Pediatric ECG tip: In the absence of detectable pulses, this organized rhythm is one of the cardiac arrest rhythms—Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) (PEA). It is treated using the asystole/PEA portion of the PALS Pulseless Arrest algorithm. This particular rhythm may be described as an idioventricular escape rhythm (an escape rhythm originating from a slow ventricular pacemaker during periods of significant sinus bradycardia or high-grade AV block). It is characterized by wide QRS compl...

Medications for pulselessness (asystole, Vfib, PEA): - ANSWEREpinephrine, Amiodarone Medications for slow rhythms (sinus brady, junctional escape, idioventricular, blocks) - ANSWERAtropine, epinephrine infusion, dopamine Medications used for fast rhythms (Afib, Aflutter, SVT, junctional tachycardia): - ANSWERCardizem, Amiodarone, Digoxin, Betablockers, adenosine, lidocaine, Procainamide Inherent SA node rate - ANSWER60-100 The normal PR interval - ANSWER0.12-0.20 Time frame betwee...
