State the interpretation of the rhythm and describe the characteristics listed below.

State which, if any, characteristics cannot be determined.

o Interpretation

o Regularity: atrial and ventricular

o Rate: state method used and rate (round to nearest whole number). If rhythm is irregular, state lower and upper range of the rate.

o P wave

o PR interval

o QRS complex

o QT interval

o ST segment

o T wave

 For the identified rhythm; discuss possible causes, nursing implications, and potential management strategies.

This is a 3rd degree AV block

Step-by-step explanation
Interpretation: 3rd degree AV block

Regular rhythm with Atria and Ventricle asynchrony where p waves are marching through the qrs complex

Rate is 33bpm with 45 small squares in between QRS 1500/45 = 33

P wave is upright and unremarkable at regular interval

Pr interval is prolonged

QRS complex is narrow 0.08s

QT segment cannot be measured

The cause for this would be an inferior myocardial infarction

This may lead to cardiac arrest if not managed as soon as possible

Management includes transvenous pacemakers especially for people who cannot receive atropine

A transcutaneous permanent pacemaker should be given to allow synchrony of the atria and valves
