Question

If you have a sinus rhythm with bigeminy, what immediate treatment would be included:

a) Defibrillate at 200 joules

b) Assess for hemodynamic compromise

c) Begin CPR, stat page respiratory therapy

2) This dysrhythmia may lead to the development of:

a) Junctional tachycardia

b) Ventricular tachycardia

c) Multifocal atrial tachycardia

Answer 1

1.Bigeminity in cardiovascular condition is nothing but problems with the heart beats. Here one wave us long and the next wave will be short but the rhythm will be even or sinus in nature.

Defibrillator is used in case of cardiac arrest

Most patients are stable without any complications so assess the patient's hemodynamic status for any compromise to initiate treatment

CPR page respiratory therapy is required in case of arrest

Ans:Assess for hemodynamic compromise

2.AV node problem can lead to junctional tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia

Dysarrythmia can lead to problem in atrial contraction causing MAT

Ans:multifocal atrial tachycardia
