Calcium Channel Blockers -CCBs are like "valium" for your heart --Valium calms you down. Therefore, CCB relaxes and slows down the heart ---If the heart is tachycardic, tachyarrhythmia, or heart attack → needs to be rested → GIVE CCB ---If you are in shock, or you are in heart block → needs to be stimulated → should NOT give CCB inotropic, chronotropic and dromotropic effects of CCBs -In other words, CCBs have negative inotropic, chronotropic, and dromotropic effects on the heart -Posit...

12 lead ECG - electrodes are placed on the arms and legs and on the chest around the heart. 1st degree AV block - PR interval is greater than 0.20 May be caused by ischemia or digitalis Treated with atropine 2nd degree AV block - Irregular rhythm, normal P waves, QRS complex is missing. Treated with atropine or a pacemaker 3rd degree AV block - Atrial rate greater than 60/min, ventricular rate less than 40/min PR interval cannot be determined, QRS complex will be widened. Treated with pa...

the three rhythms are 3rd degree HB, Torsade's de pointes, sinus rhythm know what the first thing you do on a call is BSI, Scene Safe, Use PPE Know what Afib RVR looks like know difference between alkalosis and acidosis A-fib: stable patient, treatment? BB, Ca-channel blockers (dilitiazem), digoxin; once you achieve rate control anticoagulate with warfarin to INR 2-3, mostly Cardizem-(designed to slow down conduction through the AV node. A-fib rvr-unstable ...

Chapter 35: Dysrhythmias | Questions, Answers and Rationales A patient admitted with syncope has continuous ECG monitoring. An examination of the rhythm strip reveals the following: atrial rate 74 beats/min and regular; ventricular rate 62 beats/min and irregular; P wave normal shape; PR interval lengthens progressively until a P wave is not conducted; QRS normal shape. The priority nursing intervention would be to a. give epinephrine 1 mg IV push. b. prepare for synchronized cardioversion. c...

The nurse needs to quickly estimate the heart rate for a patient with a regular heart rhythm. Which method will be best to use? a. Count the number of large squares in the R-R interval and divide by 300. b. Print a 1-minute electrocardiogram (ECG) strip and count the number of QRS complexes. c. Use the 3-second markers to count the number of QRS complexes in 6 seconds and multiply by 10. d. Calculate the number of small squares between one QRS complex and the next and divide into 1500. corre...
