1 Cardiac Arrhythmias Jon W. Atkinson, B.S., RPSGT
2 Objectives AASM technical considerations AASM scoring recommendations Conduction pathway and the cardiac cycle Process for identifying arrhythmias Examples Interventions Recording and monitoring techniques
3 AASM technical considerations Modified lead II is recommended Additional leads may be placed if clinically indicated at the discretion of the practitioner Filters: HFF 70 Hz, LFF 0.3 Hz Digital Resolution, 12 bits Sampling rate, desirable 500 Hz, minimal 200 Hz Standard ECG electrodes are suggested rather than gold cups
4 AASM Scoring Recommendations Score sinus tachycardia during sleep for sustained HR > 90 BPM for adults Score bradycardia during sleep for sustained HR < 40 BPM, ages 6-adult Score asystole for cardiac pauses > 3 seconds duration, ages 6-adult Score wide complex tachycardia for a rhythm lasting a minimum of 3 consecutive beats at a rate > 100 BPM with a QRS duration > 0.12 seconds
5 AASM Scoring Recommendations Score narrow complex tachycardia for a rhythm lasting a minimum of 3 consecutive beats at a rate > 100 BPM with a QRS duration < 0.12 seconds Score atrial fibrillation if there is an irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm associated with the replacement of consistent P waves by rapid oscillations that vary in size, shape and timing.
6 AASM Scoring Recommendation Significant arrhythmias such as blocks should be reported if the quality of single lead is sufficient for accurate scoring Ectopic beats should be reported if felt to be clinically significant
7 Conduction Pathway and the Cardiac Cycle Ab basic understanding di of fthe normal conduction pathway of the heart and the interrelation ti of the events in the cardiac cycle must be considered before any discussion i on abnormal heart rhythms occurs
8 Basic Anatomy and Pathways SA node AV Node Bundle of His Left and Right Bundle Branches Purkinje System
9 Conducting System
10 ECG Waveforms
11 Cardiac Cycle Relationship between anatomy and cardiac cycle events P wave = atrial depolarization QRS complex = ventricular depolarization T wave = ventricular repolarization PR interval(last portion from the end of the P wave) = the pause between atrial and ventricular depolarization
12 Cardiac Cycle Atrial depolarization Ventricular repolarization PR interval QRS interval Ventricular depolarization and Atrial repolarization
13 HR = bpm Normal PR interval = sec QRS interval < 0.12 sec SA node discharge = /min AV node discharge = 40-60/min Ventricular tissue discharge = 20-40/min Rhythm = regular
14 Normal Sinus Rhythm Parameter/waveform Value/characteristic P wave Present, each appears the same QRS complex Present, each appears the same PR interval seconds QRS interval seconds P:QRS ratio 1:1 Rate bpm Rhythm Regular Normal sinus rhythm, 30 second display Normal sinus rhythm, 10 second display
15 What is Abnormal? An arrhythmia is present if there is: Disturbance of impulse formation Disturbance of impulse conduction Both of the above occur The rate is too fast or too slow
16 Process for Arrhythmia Identification Tools for the systematic analysis of cardiac arrhythmias
17 Examine the P Wave Absent or present? Morphology the same? Examine the QRS complex Absent or present? Morphology the same?
18 Relationship Between P and P for every QRS QRS for every P 1:1 relationship QRS Measure the intervals Measure the PR interval Normal, too short, too long? Measure the QRS interval Normal or too long?
19 Regular or Irregular Rhythm Is R-R interval constant? Is P-P interval constant? Rate Times 2 method - count the number of beats in a 30 sec screen and multiply by 2 Times 4 method - count the number of beats in 15 seconds and multiply by 4 Times 6 method - count the number of beats in 10 seconds and multiply by 6 Don t rely on cardiotachometer on the study Usually derived from the pulse oximeter and can be inaccurate

50 Interventions Facility policy for dealing with severe arrhythmias. Sustained tachyarrhythmias (atrial or junctional tachycardias and ventricular tachycardias), atrial fibrillation ill and flutter with rapid ventricular response, and sustained ventricular arrhythmias (idioventricular or accelerated ventricular rhythm) The above require immediate patient assessment level of consciousness, dizziness or lightheadedness, presence of chest, arm or neck pain, and blood pressure. in the case of unresponsiveness, activate EMS according to protocol
51 Interventions Other arrhythmias runs of ventricular tachycardia, cardia asystoles, stoles second and third degree blocks previously undocumented atrial fibrillation or flutter call to the medical director, referring physician or house officer for direction, according to protocol.
52 Recording and Monitoring Techniques A single prescribed or mandated electrode combination may not always demonstrate a well defined P wave or a QRS complex of sufficient amplitude. The EKG quality should be observed before or during the physiologic calibration procedure. If the AASM recommended Modified Lead II derivation does not provide an adequate P wave or QRS complex, change it Different lead combinations should be sampled to provide the most adequate sample of the EKG prior to lights out.
53 Recording and Monitoring Techniques Better tactic - routinely monitor two separate EKG leads, e.g. a Lead I and a Lead II, or a Lead I and a Lead III simultaneously. There are recording systems that have the capability of displaying avr, avl, and avf), the augmented limb leads. Viewing of the EKG and arrhythmia recognition is facilitated by spreading the recording out, i.e., utilizing a 10 second display or less Intervals are all but impossible to assess using a standard 30 second screen width
54 Recording and Monitoring Techniques Measurement of the PR and QRS intervals can be accomplished by printing out the 10 second screen measure the intervals with a millimeter ruler and divide this measurement by the number of millimeters per second on the print out. Standard calipers can be used to determine regularity on these print outs It is possible to get intervals and test regularity by getting a stationary 10 sec window and using an index card. For example, make tick marks on the index card and move from R to R wave or P to P wave
