NSR with unifocal PACs 3. a. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm b. Accelerated junctional rhythm c. Complete heart block d. Agonal rhythm 4. a. 1st degree block with a triplet of PVCs b. Sinus rhythm with triplet of PVCs c. Sinus bradycardia with triplet of PVCs d. Sinus rhythm with trigeminal PVCs 5. a. Sinus bradycardia with a pause b. Sinus arrhythmia c. Complete heart block d. 2nd degree AV block type II Answers 1. a. Asystole .   Asystole with a functioning single chamber pacemaker. 2. b. NSR with ventricular bigeminy.  The rhythm is irregular because of the PVCs. The heart rate is 90/min. The P waves look the same and are paired with a QRS complex. The QRS complexes are narrow. Unifocal PVCs are seen i

NSR with multifocal PVCs c. Sinus arrhythmia with uniform PVCs d. Sinus tachycardia with bigeminal PVCs 5. a. Ventricular standstill b. Asystole c. Agonal rhythm d. Sinus bradycardia Answers 1. a. Ventricular fibrillation.  Juice 'em up at 200 J. 2.  a. NSR with PACs 3.  b. Wenckebach .  Those P waves are drifting away from the QRS complexes. The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 50/min. The P waves are positive and uniform. There is progressive elongation of the PR interval over successive beats.  Interpretation:  2nd degree AV Block Type II or just

Identify the following rhythms. 1. a. Sinus tachycardia b. Ventricular tachycardia c Supraventricular tachycardia d. Multifocal atrial tachycardia 2. a. Atrial paced b. AV paced c. Biventricular paced d. Ventricular paced 3. a. 1st degree AV block b. Idioventricular rhythm c. Agonal rhythm d. Complete heart block 4. a. Torasades de pointe b. Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia c. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia d. Multifocal atrial tachycardia 5. a. Normal sinus rhythm with multifocal PVCs b. Atrial fibrillation with multifocal PVCs c. Sinus arrhythmia with multifocal PVCs d. Sinus bradycardia with multifocal PVCs Answers 1. a. Sinus tachycardia .  There are inverted T waves present. So those deflections before the QRS complexes are probably atrial in origin.  The rhythm is regular with rate of 150/min. There are upright P waves that precede the QRS complexes. The QRS complexes are narrow. There are
