Normal Ekg Readings. Basic ekg interpretation 1. Lead ii has the most positive deflection compared to leads i and iii. In normal sinus rhythm each p wave appears as a bump in the tracing between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Normal p waves should appear less than 2 5 mm high and 0 11 seconds wide in lead ii in a twelve lead ekg.
Normal p waves should appear less than 2 5 mm high and 0 11 seconds wide in lead ii in a twelve lead ekg. In normal sinus rhythm each p wave appears as a bump in the tracing between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Qrs duration measured from first deflection of qrs complex to end of qrs complex at isoelectric line. Tyler faust msn rn. Normal adult 12 lead ecg. The electrocardiogram ecg or ekg is a noninvasive test that is used to reflect underlying heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart.
By positioning leads electrical sensing devices on the body in standardized locations health care professionals can learn information about many heart conditions by looking for characteristic patterns on the ekg.
Normal sinus rhythm each p wave is followed by a qrs p waves normal for the subject p wave rate 60 100 bpm with 10 variation rate 60 sinus bradycardia. The electrocardiogram ecg or ekg is a noninvasive test that is used to reflect underlying heart conditions by measuring the electrical activity of the heart. Lead iii has the most positive deflection and lead i should be negative. The standard paper speed is 25 mm 5 large squares sec. Normal cardiac axis right axis deviation. Normal range up to 120 ms 3 small squares on ecg paper.
