How to calculate the heart rate from the electrocardiogram ?​

Medicine

Masja [62]3 years ago

Answer:

ECG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis.

Each small square is 1 mm in length and represents 0.04 seconds.

Each larger square is 5 mm in length and represents 0.2 seconds.

Voltage is measured along the vertical axis.

10 mm is equal to 1mV in voltage.

The diagram below illustrates the configuration of ECG graph paper and where to measure the components of the ECG wave form

Heart rate can be easily calculated from the ECG strip:

When the rhythm is regular, the heart rate is 300 divided by the number of large squares between the QRS complexes.

For example, if there are 4 large squares between regular QRS complexes, the heart rate is 75 (300/4=75).

The second method can be used with an irregular rhythm to estimate the rate. Count the number of R waves in a 6 second strip and multiply by 10.

For example, if there are 7 R waves in a 6 second strip, the heart rate is 70 (7x10=70).

When you shine a light into one pupil, the normal reaction of the other pupil should be to?
OverLord2011 [107]

When you shine a light into one pupil, the normal reaction of the other pupil should be to become smaller.

Penlight

The most popular tool for measuring pupil diameter now has a light source and is a penlight. One pupil contracts in reaction to light, whereas the other either doesn't contract at all or contracts more slowly.

Use a penlight to get the maximum amount of pupil contraction in one eye, then quickly move to the other eye and return to the first. A consensual reaction normally causes the second eye to respond with the same pupillary constriction as the first.

Penlight is a useful examination tool for doctors, particularly for small body parts like the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. They frequently employ it for the pupil test, a physical examination technique used to determine whether pupils contract or remain dilated in response to light.

To learn more about the penlight refer here:
