Question

Rhythm Evaluation Lab Note: In working to identify the rhythms shown the rhythm strips included in this worksheet you need to consider an in Av blocks; of the rhythms that we have covered (including atrial, junctional, and ventricular rhythms, as well a you should also remember to check for ectopic premature ts or escape beats). Rhythm Strip #1 Regularity P waves QRS complexes P to QRS relationship Final interpretation Rhythm Strip a2 Rate Regularity P waves QRS complexes P to QRS relationship Final interpretation

Explanation / Answer

Rhythm Strip 1:

QRS Complex refers to the peak, i.e., the peaks attained in the graph.

Here, Rate is Normal (between 60 to 100 BPM)

Regularity: Normal or we can say, Rhythm Normal

P Waves: Normal (Upright and Regular (or uniform))

QRS Complexes: Normal (0.10 to 0.20 sec)

P to QRS Relationship: Normal (0.05 to 0.10 sec)

Final Relationship: A case of Sinoatrial Node Arrhythmias

Rhythm Strip 2:

Rate is Normal (between 60 to 100 BPM) but may increase with inspiration and decrease with exhalation

Regularity: Rhythm Irregular

P Waves: Normal (Upright and Regular (or uniform))

QRS Complexes: Normal (0.10 to 0.20 sec)

P to QRS Relationship: Normal (0.05 to 0.10 sec)

Final Relationship: A case of Sinus Arrhythmia

Rhythm Strip 3:

Rate is Resting (Between 40 to 100 BPM)

Regularity: Rhythm Regular

P Waves: None (No P waves are visible)

QRS Complexes: Wide (Greater than 0.10 sec)

P to QRS Relationship: None

Final Relationship: A case of Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm

Rhythm Strip 5:

Rate is Intermediate

Regularity: Rhythm Chaotic (Disorder)

P Waves: None

QRS Complexes: None

P to QRS Relationship: None

Final Relationship: A case of Ventricular Fibrillation
