Telemetry Strips Exam: Recognizing and Managing Arrhythmias, Exams of Nursing

A comprehensive exam on telemetry strips, focusing on the identification of various arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contraction, ventricular tachycardia, premature atrial contraction, ventricular fibrillation, and asystole. It also covers appropriate interventions and treatments for each arrhythmia, including cpr, intubation, medication, cardioversion/ablation, vagal maneuvers, carotid sinus massage, adenosine administration, defibrillation, and more.

  8. asystole What arrhythmia is shown here?
  1. CPR, possible intubation, medication (vasopressin, amiodarone, epinephrine), ACLS protocol
  2. BBs, CCbs, digitalis for rate control (metoprolol, digoxin, amiodarone)

Warfarin, Xarelto, Eliquis for anticoagulation

cardioversion/ablation

  1. vagal maneuvers, carotid sinus massage, cardiover- sion

Adenosine (rapid administration)

  1. Adenosine, digitalis, CCBs, BBs, O2 administration

elective cardioversion if unstable

  1. if happens occasionally = does not require treatment

amiodarone

give atropine instead if bradycardic

  1. defibrillation, CPR, O

epinephrine, amiodarone, lidocaine help make defib- rillation more successful
