Nursing responsibilities in administering injection streptokinase?
ECg MONITOR bleeding, bradycardia
What does low oxygen in the blood look like in a ECG?
An ECG won't show oxygen levels in the blood - it simply records the patients heartbeat.
How do you tell a paced wave form on an ecg?
in paced hearts, the ecg shows a sharp spike just before the qRs or R wave and the R wave will usually be widened if the ventricle is being stimulated directly. Similar to the appearance of the R wave in patients with complete heart block.
What may patients with advanced coronary disease require during exercise sessions?
Patients with advanced coronary disease may require continuous ECG monitoring throughout their exercise sessions.
What is the patients heart rate per minute on an ECG recording if five 5mm boxes are seen between the R waves?
80
What is a central monitoring unit in a hospital?
A central location where Telemetry and other bedside monitoring of ECG/EKG for patients are watched in a hospital.
What would be a patients ecg show with Hypocalcemia?
The ECG of a patient with hypocalcemia will show q number of different distinct patterns. The ECG will show a T wave that is inverted and flattened, a prolongation of the QT interval, a narrowing of the QRS complex, a prolonged ST and ST depression, a reduction in the PR interval, and a prominent U wave.
This 1904 invention by Dutch scientist Willem Einthoven allowed hospitals to check the heartbeats and look for signs of heart disease in patients?
electrocardiogram
How does polymyositis progress?
Muscle wasting or shortening (contracture) may develop in the arms or legs. Heart abnormalities (electrocardiogram (ECG) changes, arrhythmias), develop in about 30% of patients.
Which ecg wave must occur before the ventricles can relax?
The QRS complex causes the ventricles to contract. This has to happen before they can relax.
What does tele mean in hospitals?
In medicine, it refers to telemetry (remote cardiac monitoring), usually done by ECG wiring of the patient in their hospital room, with closed circuit monitors in the nursing stations.
Can a patient have MI without ECG changes but troponin positive after 20 hours CK was also elevated initially?
A significant portion of Acute Coronary Syndrome patients have few ECG changes. They are diagnosed based largely on positive enzymes and those aggressively treated early have much better outcomes.
