I have been in nursing for 40 years and have worked in a variety of settings including hospice, long term care, med-surg, supervision, cath lab, ER, special procedures and critical care. I enjoy working as a float nurse because it gives me a variety of clinical experiences. I am also a CPR, ACLS, and PALS, TNCC, ENPC instructor at our local hospital.

Second degree heart block type I with 2:1 conduction
It is either a second degree type I with 2:1 conduction or a type II. Since posting this strip I have learned that it is probably a type I block rather than a type II. For more on 2:1 AV-block: http://www.ems12lead.com/2016/01/05/12-rhythms-of-christmas-2-1-avb/
Hey Mike, this heart block appears to be 2:1. That means you can't distinguish between second-degree Type 1 or Type 2. Am I missing something.
