allows high-voltage shocks to be applied to the patient to stimulate heart action, without disconnect the EKG machine.
Hope this helped! :)
If you meant that the EKG registers high voltages (high R waves) and you are not referring to a "high voltage reading", if nothing else is abnormal, it could mean that the patient have a thin chest wall and pecs! Usually and echo will be done to make sure everything is okay.
What else can I help you with?
What does EKG result low voltage mean?
Low voltage on an EKG typically indicates a decrease in the electrical activity recorded from the heart, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as obesity, chronic lung disease, pericardial effusion, or poor contact between the skin and EKG electrodes. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
What does the Ventrical lines on EKG paper represent?
voltage
When will a V wave be seen on the normal EKG tracing?
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
What is low heart voltage?
Low voltage on an EKG is usually encountered in people with very thick chest walls or with lung diseases. Low voltage results from increased impedance between the EKG leads (on the chest) and the source of the charge (the heart). Increased distance, poorly conducting tissue or air all increase the impedance, thus resulting in decreased voltage visible on the EKG.
Which electrode is placed but not used as part of the reading on an EKG?
ll
What does low voltage frontal leads mean in an EKG?
more than likely misplacement of the electrodes, but low voltage could also indicate a small heart or perhaps a heart that isn't pumping very strongly.
Does EKG measure voltage?
Of course it does. That is main purpose of it. It is related to the heart node electircal activity.
What does EKG mean?
Close to normal, but not quite.
What should be done if you see a straight line on a ekg machine reading?
That means you are dead. Call 911.
Are EKG techs in high demand?
There is a large demand for EKG technicians. As the population continues to age, there will be need for more people to fill these positions.
What does EKG showed NSR mean?
normal sinus rhythm
Is EKG electromagnetic energy?
The old designation for electrocardiogram, now ECG, and yes, electroncmagnetic reading of cardiac function.
