This are from my EKG final study notes. Hope it helps!
Sphygmomanometer
Diostolic and Systolic
Pressure indicator
Pressure manometer
Murmur
Diastolic
Systolic
Flutter
12 to 20 breaths per minute
10 to 25 breaths per minute
8 to 18 breaths per minute
15 to 24 breaths per minute
Lack of breath to the lungs
Measurement of the cardiac output
Lungs stop supplying blood to the body
Heart attack
Trans fat
Saturated fat
Cholesterol
Cebum
10
12
8, not including ground
14, including ground
What a normal heart does just before a lub/dub
Caused by blood flow through a heart valve that is closed completely
Caused by blood flow through a heart valve that is not closing all the way
Both A and C
Bipolar leads have more than two connectors, leg leads
Bipolar leads are split at the terminal, triangle leads
Bipolar leads have two leads, limb leads
Bipolar leads are special leads, trunk leads
To check for sufficient bloodflow before applying the blood pressure cuff
It is not the most important vital sign but it's still a good idea to take it if the doctor orders it
Confirms the P wave on the EKG chart
Measures the heartrate in beats per minute
1.2 seconds
12 nanoseconds
Greater than .12 seconds
Less than .12 seconds
The extra electricity required would cause spikes on the print-out
Done to avoid 60-cycle interference
Voltage transients could short out the EKG machine
The circuitry inside the wall would be a parallel path
Right aorta, right ventricle, left aorta, left ventricle
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
Two atria and two verticles
AV left and right, up and down
Pericardium
Epicardium
Endocardium
Indocardium
Controls the flow of blood from chamber to chamber
Controls the flow of blood when the other valves stop functioning
Transfers the electrical signal by conduction to the bundle branches
Controls the flow of deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
Right arm = aVr
Left arm = aVl
Left leg = aVf
All of the above
It is always negative
It is always positive
It is indicating the normal segment
It is indicating an abnormal segment
Breaths per minute (BPM), 6-Second Rule
Beats per minute (BPM), 60-Cycle Rule
Beats per minute (BPM), 6-Second Rule
None of the above
Echocardiogram
Electricalorigram
Endocardiogram
None of the above
Down and to the right
Down and to the left
Curved up to the left
Curved up to the right
Polarity, negative and positive, switching
Heart circuitry
Body's on/off switch
Cardiac conduction
Pulse, blood pressure, respiration, temperature
Pulse, weight, height, temperature
Temperature, blood pressure, ear infection test, palpate
Family history, eating habits, temperature, pulse
The patient has tremors and could indicate abnormal blood flow to the heart
The patient has a heart murmur that could indicate structural heart disease
The patient has a lub dub that could indicate a higher than normal pulse
None of the above
