Back 16

Asynchronous

Front 17

AAI, VVI, VAT, VDD

Back 17

Demand

Front 18

VAT, VDD

Back 18

Tracking

Front 19

DVI

Back 19

AV sequential

Front 20

DDD

Back 20

AV universal

Front 21

Pacing mode: no regard for intrinsic rhythm, rarely used for permanent pacers, commonly used for temp pacers

Back 21

Asynchronous (fixed)

Front 22

Asynchronous is rare used for permanent pacers d/t possibility of ______ rhythms, or pacemaker-induced _____

Back 22

Competing rhythms; atrial or ventricular dysrhythmias

Front 23

Pacing mode: sense and respond appropriately to intrinsic rhythm, pacer delivered beat is inhibited when intrinsic beat is sensed

Back 23

Noncompetitive (demand)

Front 24

Noncompetitive (demand) mode may be _______ for sinus node dysfunction with intact AV conduction or AV heart block

Back 24

Rate-adaptive

Front 25

With increased activity, the pacemaker increases the HR =

Back 25

Rate adaptive

Front 26

Preserves a more normal relationship between atria and ventricles

Back 26

Dual chamber pacing

Front 27

Atrial synchronous, AV sequential, AV universal

Back 27

3 types of dual chamber pacing

Front 28

Atrial synchronous has two modes:

Back 28

VAT, VDD

Front 29

Sensed atrial beat triggers a ventricular beat after a predetermined AV interval

Back 29

VAT

Front 30

There is sensing in both chambers to prevent competitive ventricular pacing, but has no atrial pacing capability. Used in pts with AV nodal dysfunction but intact sinus mode

Back 30

VDD

Front 31

Atrial synchronous pacing is used to continue the :

Back 31

Normal conduction pathway
