NCLEX Study Notes: Common EKG/ECG Rhythms
Following the steps below will allow ease with interpretation of arrhythmias. Analyzing strips in this order and reviewing these 5 aspects will allow for correct identification of cardiac rhythms.
Rate
P Waves
P:QRS
QRS
PR Interval
Rate
What is the ventricular rate?
On a six second strip count the R waves and multiply by 10
Alternatively, you can divide 300 by the number of large squares between R waves or P waves. This method is less reliably if the rate is irregular.
P Waves
Are there P Waves?
What is the rate of the P wave?
What is the morphology of the P wave (upward, smooth, rounded)?
P:QRS
Is there a 1:1 relationship between P wave and QRS complex?
QRS
Are there QRS complexes?
Is the QRS width 0.06 – 0.12 seconds (1.5 – 3 small boxes)?
PR Interval
Is the PRI between 0.12 – 0.20 seconds (3 – 5 small boxes)?

A vein can blow for several reasons. The most common cause is that you have gone through the vein, puncturing the opposite side of the vein causing blood to leak out and creating a hematoma, often collapsing the vein and rendering it useless.
A blown or ruptured vein occurs when a vein gets punctured and it causes blood to leak outside the vein. In the majority of cases, a blown vein is not dangerous, but it should be treated right away and the vein shouldn’t be used to draw blood or start an IV.
The most common symptoms of collapsed veins are cold hands and feet due to circulation loss, sharp pain at injection site, and blue or black discoloration. You may also experience itching at the injection site as the vein starts to heal.

ACLS Drugs
Vent. Fib./Tach. Epinephrine, Amiodarone, Lidocaine, Magnesium
Asystole/PEA Epinephrine
Bradycardia Atropine Epinephrine, Dopamine
Tachycardia adenosine, Diltiazem, Beta-blockers, amiodarone, Digoxin, Verapamil, Magnesium
Acute Coronary Syndromes Oxygen, Aspirin, Nitroglycerin, Morphine, Fibrinolytic therapy, Heparin, Beta-Blockers
Acute Stroke tPA-tissue plasminogen activator, Glucose (D50), Labetalol, Nitroprusside, Nicardipine, Aspirin

MRI Sagittal Anatomy of Brain Level 1
MRI is sensitive to changes in cartilage and bone structure resulting from injury, disease, or aging. It can detect herniated discs, pinched nerves, spinal tumors, spinal cord compression, and fractures.
MRI provides exquisite detail of brain, spinal cord and vascular anatomy, and has the advantage of being able to visualize anatomy in all three planes: axial, sagittal and coronal.
