The vertical axis of the ecg paper measures?
EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.
What do the horizontal lines on an ekg measure?
The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis is a measure of something electrical (the wires are connected to electrical contacts on your chest).
What does the Ventrical lines on EKG paper represent?
voltage
What do you use to measure a heart rate of a person?
An EKG
Which of the following procedures is abbreviated as either ECG or EKG?
An abbreviation for ElectroCardiogram: A procedure in which electrodes placed on the chest wall pick up the electrical conduction/activity of the heart. The depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac miocytes are are transcribed on a sheet of paper with the amplitude (+ or -) on the X axis, and time on the Y axis.
What is the speed of the ekg paper?
25 mm/sec
Does EKG measure voltage?
Of course it does. That is main purpose of it. It is related to the heart node electircal activity.
How do EKG machine leads work?
EKG machine leads are electrodes attached to the patient's skin to measure the electrical signals produced by the heart. The leads pick up these signals and transmit them to the EKG machine, which then displays them as a graph that represents the heart's electrical activity. Different lead placements provide different views of the heart's electrical activity.
When do you standardize an EKG?
before and after you run EKG
What is the name of EKG tracing?
EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
When will a V wave be seen on the normal EKG tracing?
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
What does ekg stand for in online ekg schools?
An ekg is a machine used in medical tests involving the heart. Often to operate one you have to attend a special school. EKG stands for: Electrocardiography.
