| 8107730100 | Event duration Rule 2: When baseline breathing amplitude cannot be determined(and when underlying breathing variability is large) events can also be determined when either there is: | 1. A clear and sustained increase in breathing apmlitude. 2. In the case where a desaturation has occured, there is event-associated resaturation of at least 2%. | 0 | |
| 8107730101 | The definition of hypopnea usesd should be specified in the: | PSG report | 1 | |
| 8107730102 | An alternative sensor for detection of effort is: | Diaphragmatic/intercoastal EMG | 2 | |
| 8107730103 | What is an oronasal thermal sensor? | the sensor to detect abscence of airflow for identification of an apnea. | 3 | |
| 8107730104 | The sensor for detection of respiratory effort is: | Either esophageal manometry or calibrated or uncalibrated inductance plethysmongraphy. | 4 | |
| 8107730105 | SA Node fires | Atrial Depolarization | 5 | |
| 8107730106 | Transmission time across the atria through AV node | P P-R interval | 6 | |
| 8107730107 | Ventricular Depolarization | QRS | 7 | |
| 8107730108 | Evaluating A rhythm | 1. Is the rhythm regular? 2. Rate? 3. What are atria doing? 4.What are ventricles doing? QRS. 5.Relationship between atria and ventricles | 8 | |
| 8107730109 | Normal Sinus rhythm | 1. PR Interval 0.12-0.20 seconds 2. QRS Complex 0.04-0.10 seconds 3. QT Interval 0.36-0.44 seconds 4. A heart rate of 60-90 beats per minute 5. P waves Uniform and upright in appearance |  | 9 |
| 8107730110 | Atrial Flutter | Immediatly wake patient and make sure patient has plenty of O2 and notify physician. |  | 10 |
| 8107730111 | Atrial Fibrillation | Immediatly wake patient call physician |  | 11 |
| 8107730112 | Bradycardia | is of no concern during a sleep study. Only profound bradycardia warrants waking the patient or contacting the medical director. |  | 12 |
| 8107730113 | Tachycardia | is of no concern during a sleep study can be accompanied by chest pain, SOB and it may trigger a severe cardiac or pulmonary compromise- If the patient is woken up and tachycardia persists the doctor should be called. |  | 13 |
| 8107730114 | Second degree AV block Mobitz type 1 | are suffering from myocardial ischemia= arrhythmia will be brief= monitor closely= If arrhythmia develops into a more sever heart block=more likely to happen with mobitz type II= Notify the doctor immediatly. |  | 14 |
| 8107730115 | Third degree or complete AV block | The patient should be woken up and Basic cardiac life support should be administered . Doctor should be called. | 15 | |
| 8107730116 | Paroxysmal supraventricular tachcardia (PSVT) | if a patient develops PSVT and rythm is sustained= wake patient and notify Dr. give patient O2 and ask Pt to perform a valsalva maneuver= exhale against airway. |  | 16 |
| 8107730117 | First degree AV block | only document the presence of this harmless arrhythmia. | 17 | |
| 8107730118 | Ventricular tachycardia | 1. if sustained for a long period of time- may be life threating, the cardiac arrest team of the medical center or the paramedics may need to be alerted. 2. the patient may quickly loose consciousness 3. can quickly degenerate into ventricular fibrillation which can cause death. 4.BCLS or ACLS should be administered if patient looses consciousness. 5. Should notify physician 6. In hospital code 7. CPR initiated give O2 |  | 18 |
| 8107730119 | Ventricular ectopies (PVCS) | 1.Not cause for concern 2. Contact physician if premature beats are associated with chest pain, light headedness, palpitations, or nausea, or if the patient becomes confused and uncooperative. 3. Or has more than 6 PVCs in a minute. 4. Or the PVCS occur in couplets or groups of three at least once a minute or the patient has four or more PVC in a row. |  | 19 |
