This medication is a vagolytic that works by blocking the chemical endings of the vagus nerve increasing the HR, Atropine, Adenosine, Epi, Amiodarone, SVT, NSR, Afib, ST, This rhythm can be caused by vagal stimulation, sleep, medications, being athletic, or increased ICP, SB, NSR, IVR, Vfib, A characteristic of this rhythm are sawtooth wave forms, Afib, Aflutter, SA, Wandering Atrial Pacemaker, AVT, Aflutter, AFib, Vfib, The pacemaker of this rhythm bounces around between the sinus node, atria and Av junction, Wandering Atrial Pacemaker, Afib, JT, SVT, Phrase used to describe a rapid, regular rhythm where the P waves are not visible and can be common to other arrhythmias, Afib, VT, Wandering Atrial Pacemaker, SVT, A medication that interrupts the reentry pathways involving the AV node resulting in a conversion to normal rhythm, Atropine, Adenosine, Beta Blockers, Coumadin, Delivery of an electrical shock to the heart timed to occur during the QRS, Synchronized Cardioversion, Defibrillation, Ablation, Vagal Maneuvers, In atrial flutter, the key consideration in determining treatment is, Atrial Rate, Vertricular Rate, Configuration of the flutter waves, PR Interval, The nurse records the ECG of a patient presenting with c/o sudden onset palpitations with a HR of 200 beats/minute. The ECG shows SVT. Which drug would the nurse prepare to administer if the patient does not respond to vagal maneuvers?, Digoxin, Adenosine, Beta Blockers, Verapamil, SB, NSR, Aflutter, Junctional Escape, A rhythm caused from an irritable focus in the AV junction causing the AV node to speed up overriding the SA node for control of the heart., Accelerated Junctional, Afib, VT, IVR, A common cause of junctional rhythms is:, Dopamine overdose, Dig toxicity, Prolonged atrial tachycardia, Normal heart functioning, In this rhythm the AV node holds the impulse longer than normal before conducting it to the ventricles, Second Degree Type 1, Complete heart block, Second degree type 2, First degree block, Second degree type 1, Second degree tylpe 2, Third degree, First degree, How would this rhythm be treated?, Check meds, pacer, identify cause, Check pulse, RRT, continue current regimen, Digoxin, Atropine, Epi, Heparin, Oxygen, Adenosine, Afib, IVR, Third degree HB, Second degree type 2, In a second-degree type 1 HB, the PR interval:, Varies according to the ventricular response rate, Progressively lengthens until a QRS is dropped, Remains constant despite an irregular ventricular rhythm, Can't be determined, Caused from a single irritable focus inside the ventricles that fires prematurely, PAC, PJC, SA, PVC, IVR, Afib, Junctional Escape, SB, Organized electrical activity is observed on the cardiac monitor but the patient is unresponsive, not breathing and has no pulse, Vfib, IVR, Asystole, PEA, Reversible causes of cardiac emergencies, Sleep, Hypovolemia, Acidosis, Hyperkalemia, Caffeine, tobacco, heparin, Antibiotics, Vfib, VT, IVR, Asystole, The treatment of choice for Vfib, Defibrillation, Transesophageal pacing, Synchronized cardioversion, Digoxin
