University ECG Assessment: Interpretation and Management of ECGs

This assignment presents an analysis of two ECG readings, focusing on the interpretation and management of cardiac conditions. The first ECG demonstrates characteristics of Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB), detailing the initial impression, heart rate, rhythm, and the presence of P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves, followed by an interpretation and management strategy. The interpretation highlights the inactivation of the right ventricle, leading to slower depolarization and a widened QRS complex. The management strategy emphasizes understanding the underlying causes, which can include normal variants or congenital diseases, and addresses potential treatment options, such as medication or invasive procedures. The second ECG showcases a 2nd-degree heart block, specifically the Wenckebach type. It details the initial impression, heart rate, rhythm, and the presence of P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves, followed by an interpretation and a management plan. The interpretation defines the intermittent non-conducted P-waves, and the management plan involves administering atropine and transcutaneous pacing, considering the underlying causes and potential risks.
