| November 9 - November 13: Introducing the PVC Patterning and Ventricular Arrhythmias OBJECTIVES: Be able to correctly indentify PVC patterning Be able to correctly identify and interpret IVR, AIVR, Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation arrhythmias Be able to correctly identify and interpret all arrhythmias covered in class up to this point Class, Please download the EXAM FIRST. We are working through MOST Exam questions in the YOUTUBE video lectures. Click Here to Download Exam 4 Part A due Friday November 13 by 12 Midnight Note to Class: There are 2 Youtube Videos with this Week Please download Worksheet #1 and put your answers on the Exam. Do these interpretations on your own. I want to see how you are doing. On the 12 lead, remember, if you do NOT see the calibration marks it is STANDARD. Please continue right into the EKG PVC YOUTUBE lecture video. |

| 3 or more PVC's in a row can be called Ventricular Tachycardia Interpretation: NSR into Paroxysmal Venticular Tachycardia |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Ventricular Rhythms | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Idioventricular Rhythm is referred to as IVR | ||||||||
|
||||||||
 |

|

 |

|

 |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| 1st Degree AV Block | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| NOTE: In the interpretation always state the underlying rhythm. For example, the rhythm above would be interpreted this way: NSR with a 1st degree AV Block |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Premature Ventricular Contractions | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Interpretation: Example: NSR with Unifocal PVCs (4th and 8th complexes) | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Interpretation: NSR with Multifocal PVCs (5th and 10th complexes) | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| Interpretation: Sinus Tachycardia with Unifocal PVCs (7th and 8th complexes) | ||||||||
|
||||||||
 |
||||||||
 |
||||||||
| With SA Block the R-R interval measurement is within plus or minus 2 small boxes. Here is how you report a rhythm with a sinus block: NSR with a Sinus Block. Note how you do NOT have to state where the block is. | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| With SA Arrest the R-R interval measurement is greater than plus or minus 2 small boxes. Here is how you report a rhythm with a sinus arrest: NSR with a Sinus Arrest. Note how you do NOT have to state where the arrest is. | ||||||||
