EKG Practice Test 2

This EKG practice test is designed to help you learn to recoginze all of the EKG rhythms that you will encounter during emergencies and during the AHA ACLS provider course.  Use these EKG practice tests to help you become proficient in your rapid rhythm identification.

      In third-degree heart block, the R-to-R interval can be regular or irregular. It depends on whether there is an escape rhythm that maintains a somewhat regular rhythm in the absence of the normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction. If there’s no escape rhythm, the R-to-R intervals can be irregular.

      In third-degree heart block, the P-to-P interval (atrial activity) is typically regular because the atria and ventricles are functioning independently of each other. However, the ventricular response (QRS complexes) may be regular or irregular, depending on whether there is an escape rhythm or other factors influencing the ventricular rate.

    These practice tests were very helpful, especially if you don’t have much exposure to patients who are frequently in jeopardy of arrhythmias. Practice, practice, practice.

      I’m not sure which rhythm strip you were referring to. Can you please tell me which one? Each strip is labeled with a number just above the strip.

      Kind regards,
      Jeff

        #3/13. It looks like it might be 2nd degree heart block type II to me, however it is actually third degree heart block.

        Sometimes a short six second strip can make it difficult to determine rhythms. This rhythm does look a bit like second-degree block type-II however, the patient was in a complete block. The best indicator is the very large distance between the p-waves and QRS complexes. This helps to indicate that the p-waves and QRS complexes are disassociated. Kind regards, Jeff
