crotchitymedic1986 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Easier Method: write the blocks in order, and write CICI in order beside it (think CICI's Pizza) 1st degree C 2nd Type 1 I 2nd Type 2 C 3rd I The C stands for consistent, the I for inconsistent. Now look at your PR interval, if it is consistent, your block must be 1st degree or 2nd type II. More than one p-wave makes it 2nd type II. If your PR interval is Inconsistent, then you either have Wenkebach, or 3rd degree. If the PR gets longer until a QRS is dropped you know what you have. If the opposite is true, you know what you have.

DwayneEMTP Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 How I learned heart blocks... http://ambulancedriv...duction-system/ To understand blocks in gross terms, that is classic! Not a lot of help where it's most needed though, at the cellular and ECG level, but for what it is, I liked it a lot. I could see it as a great, first morning of ECG class, introduction... Dwayne
