How to discern different ectopic rhythms |
1. Look at HR (bpm fast? Slow?) 2. Look at P wave -normal: smooth, rounded, before qrs -atrial: spiky, positive -junctional: negative -ventricular: absent 3. If p wave is absent - look at qrs -junctional: normal, skinny qrs <0.12 -ventricular: wide >0.12 |
