Cardiac Dysrhythmia Strips. Describe the physiology of cardiac muscle contraction. Cardiac rhythm strip reference guide. Dysrhythmia strips and drills the heart dysrhythmia practice drills provide a test ekg tracing and users are asked to identify the type of arrhythmia. Atrial premature atrial contractions.
Our rhythm strips guide provides information on essential dysrhythmia categories. Each answer is immediately evaluated and the correct classification of the ekg tracing is provided along with a detailed explanation. When the rhythm is regular the heart rate is 300 divided by the number of large squares between the qrs complexes. Strips 17 and 18. The rhythm may be irregular in its pacing or the heart rate may be low or high. Tachycardia which is a fast heart rhythm.
Heart rate can be easily calculated from the ekg strip.
Interpreting ekg rhythm strips step 1 heart rate. Count the number of qrs complexes. When the rhythm is regular the heart rate is 300 divided by the number of large squares between the qrs complexes. Count the number of p waves ventricular rate. Given a rhythm strip identify sinus atrial junctional and ventricular dysrhythmias and atrioventricular blocks. For example if there are 4 large squares between regular qrs complexes the heart rate is 75 300 4 75.
