Basic Rhythm Recognition
Fast Normal Slow Regular Sinus Tach SVT A flutter (regular conduction) VT (with pulse) Normal Sinus Accelerated Junctional A flutter Sinus Brady Complete block Ventricular/Junctional escape Irregular A fib with RVR A flutter (variable conduction) Multifocal atrial tachycardia Sinus Arrhythmia Afib/flutter Sinus with PVC/PACs Wandering atrial pacemaker Afib/flutter SVR 2nd degree blocks
Evaluate p waves -Are they present? -How do they relate to the QRS? -Are they all the same?
Evaluate the QRS complex Is is wide or narrow? Wide QRS can be a ventricular rhythm Any of these rhythms can be aberrantly conducted (bundle branch block)
