avR

avL

avF

-augmented lead toward the right arm

-augmented lead toward the left arm

-augmented lead toward the foot

2
New cards

Bundle of His(AV bundle)

-are a group of muscle fibers in the heart are crucial for electrical conduction.

-is not working if R- is short

3
New cards

Calculating Heart Rate

1.Count the number of large squares within one R-R interval

  1. Divide 300 by the number of large squares

4
New cards

Calculating QRS complexes

  1. count the number of QRS complexes on rhythm strip.

  2. Multiply the number complexes by six.

5
New cards

Ventricular fibrillation(V-fib)

is a dangerous heart rhythm where the lower chambers of the heart shake instead of pumping blood effectively.

6
New cards

Ventricular Techcardiya(v-tech)

 is made when there is a disruption in the hearts normal electrical signaling within the lower chambers(ventricles). This causes the heart to beat too fast.

7
New cards

Ventricular A systole

flat line

8
New cards

Types of Heart Blocks:1st degree AV(atrioventricular) block

occurs when electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles are delayed.

9
New cards

Types of Heart Blocks:Second-Degree AV block Mobitz Type 1

the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles is intermittently blocked.

10
New cards

Types of Heart Blocks:Second Degree AV block Mobitz Type 2

a heart rhythm disturbance where some electrical impulses from the atria fail to reach the ventricles, causing skipped heartbeats.

11
New cards

Types of Heart Blocks:Third Degree AV block(complete)

is a serious heart condition where electrical signals from the atria cannot reach the ventricles.

12
New cards

Artificial Pacemaker Rhythm

70 bpm

a P wave before QRS is absent

13
New cards

Lead

is a glimpse of electrical activity of the heart from a certain angle.

14
New cards

When does hand washing happen?

-before touching a patient, before clean/aseptic procedure, after body fluid exposure risk, after touching a patient, and after touching patient surroundings.

15
New cards

Biohazard waste

needles, bandages, or other contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids that can transmit disease

16
New cards

Types of Biohazard Waste:Human blood and blood products

serum, plasma, etc

17
New cards

Types of Biohazard Waste:Pathological Waste

all human tissues, organs, and body parts

18
New cards

Types of Biohazard Waste: Microbiological Wastes

contaminated with concentrated forms of infectious agents

19
New cards

More types of biohazard waste is…

animal waste and recombinant DNA & RNA

20
New cards

Sharps

are medical equipment that can cut or puncture the skin, needles, syringes, and razors.

21
New cards

Not sharp waste

gloves, paper towels, lab glass, and petri dishes.

22
New cards

Autoclave Sterilization

special chemicals to the sharps in order to kill the microorganisms that may cause disease.

23
New cards

Personal Protection Equipment(PPE)

is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses(ex.gloves, earplugs, full body suit, etc)

24
New cards

Donning(Putting on)

-Identify and gather the proper PPE to don.

-Perform hand hygiene using hand sanitizer.

-Put on isolation gown

-Put on face shield or goggles

-Put on gloves and then healthcare personnel enter patient room.

25
New cards

Doffing(taking off)

-Remove gloves,-remove gown,-exit patient room,-perform hand hygiene,-remove face shield, remove and discard respirator,-facemask, perform hand hygiene after removing respirator

28
New cards

Level of Evidence(LOE)

estimates the certainty of treatment effect on patients and is classified as level A,B, or C.

29
New cards

COR l

is a strong recommendation that indicating established usefulness and effectiveness

30
New cards

COR lla

is moderate recommendation where benefit likely outweighs risk.

31
New cards

COR llb

is a weak recommendation where benefit is less certain.

32
New cards

COR lll

is an action not recommended due to lack of benefit or potential harm.
