Description
To pass the written ACLS exam and mega code, students need to be able to identify basic ECG dysrhythmias, including the two types of second-degree heart block. One method of ECG rhythm identification is to ask a series of questions such as:What's the rate (<60, 60-100, 101-149, or >150);Is the rhythm regular or irregular; What's the shape and frequency of P waves and QRS complexes; and What's the P-R interval and is it constant?ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type I (Wenckebach). Identification of unstable bradycardia and its treatment with Atropine. ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type II. Possible effect of using Atropine on patients with a second-degree type II AV block. Treatment of unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine using TCP, Dopamine, or Epinephrine drip. Starting dose and titration of Dopamine and Epinephrine drips.
