I'm a Nurse Educator, who teaches EKG interpretation classes, and this video was so helpful . You did such as awesome job in explaining paced rhythms. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Awesome Job!!!
Im in my second semester of paramedics and starting to learn ekgs and I've been watching your videos non-stop and are very helpful. it looks like you havent posted in a while you should.
Thank you so much for the clear explanation. Can you please also do a detailed video about abnormal pacing ?example: oversensing/undersensing? failure to sense/capture?
At 5:44 on the ventricular pacing there is no P wave. Does this mean that the heart is not generating an atrial depolarization on its own either? It seems that there should be a P wave without a pacer spiker immediately preceding it in ventricular pacing.
thank you --- just one question, is there a difference between an intrinsic beat and a native beat?? my textbook seems to use these terms interchangeably!
Demand means that the Pacer will kick in whenever the set threshold is met. Meaning, if they set a threshold of 50 beats per minute, the demand pacemaker will kick in to maintain a rate of at least 50 bpm. Yes, a fixed pacemaker would be 100% paced.
