| v fib | | electrical treatment of STABLE VT, a fib rvr (rapid ventricular response), light sedation required |
| electrolytes | | Where you document a resucitation, which once signed constitues physician orders. |
| complete heart block | | _ to 8 breaths per minute recommended per AHA in resucitation effort |
| Summary Sheet | | Changing (spindling) QRS wave form like VT |
| mobitz | | can be culprit of ugly rhythms - monitor and replace to correct, done with labs |
| defibrilation | | medication used for rate control, atrial or ventricular, first line |
| BLS | | p wave normal, PR - no consistent relation to QRS, more P's than QRS's |
| six | | Consider pacemaker! |
| magnesium | | electrical stiumui arising from bundle of His, ventricular rate > 100 |
| junctional tachacardia | | Degree, delay in conduction from below the AV node, has 2 types |
| code blue | | advanced level of care, a certification required for all RNs here at Clarian |
| Second | | one of the blocks, can be a I or II |
| cardioversion | | a rhythm on the monitor, but without conduction |
| a flutter | | abbreviated term for electrical device, can be permanent or temporary |
| Wenckebach | | node responsible for stimuli resulting in atrial depolarization (addrv) |
| airway | | abbreviation for FIRST treatment, available to the public for use. Listen to and follow prompts, constitutes an order. |
| atropine | | what is done for pulseless VT/VF |
| AED | | basic initial treatment for pulseless victim (abbrv) |
| ePartners | | medication used for a slow atrial rhythm |
| a fib | | slow....normal in athletes and during sleep, atrial rate < 60 |
| resQpod | | basic care, all staff are required to have, (abbrv) |
| torsades de pointes | | assess this by checking for pulse, mental status, and urine output |
| Rapid Response Team | | rapid rate prohibits cardiac filling or coronary artery perfusion. Single ventricular ectopic focus at fast rate, with smooth wave |
| SA | | treatment - chest compressions, epinephrine, atropine, |
| perfusion | | ventricular chaos, no contraction, no cardiac output, no bp |
| ACLS | | A resource available from off site, all ICU nurses, can call help, look up info etc. |
| bradycardia | | call 222 to activate, get a second opinion, helps prevent need to call 299 |
| pacer | | need established for adequate ventilation |
| AV Dissociation | | saw tooth pattern on monitor |
| ventricular tachycardia | | hallmark is |
| CPR | | abbreviated name for our favorite resource for respiratory concerns |
| pulseless electrical activity | | Not a respiratory device, a circulatory thing, improves cardiac perfusion |
| asystole | | a type II block with delaly in conduction from atria to ventricle, a progressive prolongation of the PRI, until AV does not conduct, repatitive |
| amiodarone | | used to treat the |
| RT | | dial 299 for_________ ________ |
