Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Viewing:

Learn EKG

front 1

Define ischemia

back 1

lack of blood supply

front 2

What is the electrical pathway of the heart's conduction system?

back 2

SA node->AV node->Bundle of His->Right and Left Bundle Branches->Purkinje fibers

front 3

When the SA node is stimulated, what mechanical action happens in the heart?

back 3

Atria contract

front 4

What has to happen for the ventricles to contract?

back 4

Electrical conduction has to pass through the AV node, down the Bundle of His, through the right and left bundle branches, into the purkinje fibers. Once they reach the Purkinje fibers, then the ventricles will contract

front 5

sticky skin sensors that attach to the patient

back 5

electrodes

front 6

What does the T wave represent?

back 6

Ventricular repolarization (ventricular relaxation)

front 7

What does the P wave represent?

back 7

atrial depolarization (atrial contraction)

front 8

A 6 second strip in Lead II is called a

back 8

rhythm strip

front 9

Define artifact.

back 9

abnormal waveform on an EKG tracing

front 10

What is a "flat line" rhythm

back 10

asystole

front 11

how tall the tracing is. It is represented by 1x, 2x, or 3x.

back 11

Define amplitude/gain
