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.
Nice example of the irregularity we commonly see early in a run of VT. A lot of folks see that irregularity immediately jump to calling it atrial fibrillation, or even AF + WPW.
Thanks for your comments Vince. These pages are what the physicians would view when we report a rhythm change. Usually the event is over before we can obtain a 12 lead. However, there is enough information here to make a good analysis. In lead 1 it looks like the initial PVC just hit the latter end of the T wave, so perhaps a little R-on-T.
