Normal Sinus Rhythm: HR range is _______ - _______ - correct answer 60-100
Torsades De Pointes - Most accurate is ______________ ____________(measure boxes between 2 LARGE ventricular complexes) Rate will be very fast and will vary between complexes throughout strip (example: 3-5 small boxes) Ventricular rate will likely be > 300. - correct answer 1500 method
Sinus Pause / Arrest (Know how to calculate time of pause/arrest) - correct answer # of big boxes x .20 + # of small boxes x .04 = pause/arrest in seconds [Show Less]
