19. No relationship between P waves and QRSโs. Ratio of QRS to P waves usually will vary One extra P at the end of each grouping. No extra Pโs P-P interval is regular ( P waves will march out). P-P interval is regular ( P waves will march out). P-P interval is regular ( P waves will march out). P-P interval is regular (P waves will march out). R-R intervals will be regular . Ventricular rate much slower than atrial rate. QRS usually wide R-R interval will be regular or irregular. QRS usually wide R-R intervals irregular ( clustering or grouping of QRSโs) R-R interval is regular PR intervals will vary and do not have a set pattern. PR intervals are constant PR intervals are not constant & they gradually lengthen until QRS is dropped PR interval is constant. More P waves than QRSโs some are hidden More P waves than QRSโs More P waves than QRSโs. Just like sinus rhythm only PR interval is > .20 seconds 3 rd ยฐ HB 2 nd ยฐ HB T 2 2 nd ยฐ HB T 1 1 st ยฐ HB

36. Pacemaker Identification Codes P = Pacing (antitachycardia) P = Simple programmability (rate and/or output T = Triggers pacing A = Atrium A = Atrium D = Dual (pacing & shock) C = Communication R = Rate responsive D = Dual (triggers & inhibits pacing) D = Dual chamber (atrium & ventricle) D = Dual chamber (atrium & ventricle) S = Shock M = Multi-programmable I = Inhibits pacing V = Ventricle V = Ventricle O = None O = None O = None (fixed-rate pacemaker) O = None (fixed-rate pacemaker) O = None Anti-tachycardia Functions Function that can be programmed Response to Sensing Chamber Sensed Chamber Paced
The first three letters are used for antibradycardia functions. The first letter of the code identifies the heart chamber (or chambers) paced (stimulated). The options available include: A - atrium, V โ ventricle, D โ dual (both atrium and ventricle), O โ none. A pacemaker used to pace only a single chamber is represented by either the letter A (atrial) or V (ventricular). A pacemaker capable of pacing in both chambers is represented by the letter D (dual). The second letter identifies the chamber of the heart where patient-initiated (intrinsic) electrical activity is sensed by the pacemaker. The letter designations for the second letter are the same as the designations for the first. The third letter indicates how the pacemaker will respond when it senses patient-initiated electrical activity. T - a pacemaker stimulus is triggered in response to a sensed event. I - sensing of intrinsic impulses inhibits the pacemaker from producing a stimulus. D โ dual (a combination of triggered pacing and inhibition). O โ no sensing. The fourth letter is most often used in permanent pacing and identifies the availability of rate responsiveness and the number of reprogrammable functions available. O โ the pacemaker is not programmable or rate responsive. This is most commonly found on devices manufactured before mid-1970. The letter P indicates simple programmability where the pacemaker is limited to one or two programmable parameters (e.g., such as rate or output). M designates multiprogrammability, i.e., more than two variables can be altered. The letter C indicates the deviceโs capability of transmitting and/or receiving data for informational or programming purposes. Rate responsiveness, designated by the letter R, denotes the pacemakerโs ability to automatically adjust its rate to meet the bodyโs needs due to increased physical activity. The fifth letter indicates the presence of one or more active antitachycardia functions and indicates how the pacemaker will respond to tachydysrhythmias. O โ the device has no antitachycardia functions. P โ the device is capable of antitachycardia pacing. S โ the device is capable of delivering synchronized and unsynchronized countershocks. D โ the device is capable of antitachycardia pacing, synchronized, and unsynchronized countershocks.
