Figure 1 From Wide Qrs Complex Rhythm With Pulseless Electrical

Figure 1 From Wide Qrs Complex Rhythm With Pulseless Electrical Wide qrs complex rhythm with pulseless electrical activity. figure 1. at presentation, the standard 12 lead electrocardiogram demonstrated an irregu lar wide qrs complex rhythm with features of right superior axis deviation and right bundle branch block. although the interpretation software indicated a ventricular rate of 156 bpm, inspection. Figure 1. at presentation, the standard 12 lead electrocardiogram demonstrated an irregular wide qrs complex rhythm with features of right superior axis deviation and right bundle branch block. although the interpretation software indicated a ventricular rate of 156 bpm, inspection reveals the rate to be only half that (ie, “double counting” of the heart rate). the serum potassium.

Figure 1 From Wide Qrs Complex Rhythm With Pulseless Electrical The littman algorithm use ecg waveform and echo findings to help stratify likely causes (littman et al, 2014): step 1: determine if the pea is narrow (qrs duration <0.12) or wide (qrs duration ≥0.12) on ecg monitor. step 2: narrow complex pea is generally due to mechanical problems caused by right ventricular inflow or outflow obstruction. A slow, wide qrs complex rhythm is associated with little chance of survival. (continued on next page.) correct answer: bpulseless electrical activity (pea) is a malignant dysrhythmia that reflects a serious underlying medical event. pea is characterized by the unique combination of an absence of discernible cardiac mechanical activity (ie, a. As seen in figure 1, asystole occurs when there is no electrical activity in the heart. the heart is completely still during asystole; i.e. there are no atrial or ventricular depolarizations. brady asystole is defined as asystole interrupted by occasional qrs complexes, but no rhythm capable of producing a noteworthy cardiac output .

Over the last few years we have developed a teaching tool that simplifies the diagnostic approach by differentiating narrow and wide complex rhythms on initial telemetry (qrs duration <0.12 and ≥0.12 s, respectively), and by eliminating those diagnoses which rarely if ever cause pea. our algorithm does not apply in the specific trauma setting.
