presentation on cardiac monitoring , different tools and mechanism used for monitoring one of the vital organ of our body that is heart. specially for medical students, made by basic bsc students of nursing
continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity, generally by electrocardiography, with assessment of the patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm.
A cardiac event monitor is a device that you control to record the electrical activity of your heart (ECG). This device is about the size of a pager. It records your heart rate and rhythm. Cardiac event monitors are used when you need long-term monitoring of symptoms that occur less than daily

Surgical Hand Washing
By Josfeena Bashir
Lecturer, BGSBU, Jammu
Introduction
During the 19th century, surgical hand preparation consisted of washing the hands with antimicrobial soap and warm water, frequently with the use of a brush.
Definition
Hand washing is important in every setting, including hospital. It is an effective infection control measures, as it prevent spread of micro organisms. For routine client care, the CDC recommends a vigorous hand washing under a stream of water for at least 10 seconds using soap.
Purpose
To remove transient and resident bacteria from fingers, hand and forearms.
To prevent the risk of transmission of infection to patients.
To reduce the risk of transmission of infection organisms to oneself.
To prevent cross infection among clients.
Equipments/ Articles Used For Hand Washing
Soap in a soap dish
Bacteriocidal or antimicrobial soap.
Surgical scrub brush
Running water
Towel/ sterile towels
Surgical hand washing Steps of procedure
Done mask, hair cover and booties, if required
Perform 5 to 10 minute surgical scrub using counted brush stroke method.
Remove rings, chipped nail polish and watch.
Contd….
Wet hands and arm from elbows to fingerprints under flowing water (use sink with side or foot pedal).
Place soap, preferably antimicrobial/ bacteriostatic, on hands and rub vigorously for 15 to 30 seconds; use scrub brush gently
Contd….

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

5. Introduction to the E.C.G.
E.C.G is Electrocardiograph or electrocardiogram
It can provide evidence to support a diagnosis, but
remember…..LOOK AT THE PATIENT NOT JUST
THE PAPER
Is essential in the diagnosis of chest pain and
abnormal heart rhythms
Is helpful in diagnosing breathlessness
6. The Electricity of the Heart
Any muscle contraction causes an electrical change
– depolarisation
These changes can be detected by electrodes on
the surface of the body
To ensure recording of only cardiac electrical
activity, the patient must be relaxed
Although a four chamber organ, for E.C.G purposes,
the heart can be thought of as two, as the atria and
ventricles contract together
7.
8. The Electrical Pathway of the Heart
Each electrical discharge starts in the sino-atrial
node, located in the right atrium
Then spreads through the atrial muscle fibres
There is a delay while depolarisation spreads
through the atrio-ventricular node
Then along single carriageway Bundle of His along
to parallel carriageways of the Right and Left Bundle
Branches
Left Bundle Branch carriageway divides into two and
conduction spreads through specialised Purkinje
fibres
Normal heart rate is called sinus rhythm and implies
that the electrical activity has commenced in the SA
node
9. The Shape of the ECG
Atrial muscle mass is smaller compared with the
ventricles – so the is the electrical charge
Atrial contraction is the P wave
Ventricular muscle mass is larger and creates a
bigger deflection on the ECG
This is represented by the QRS complex
T wave represents repolarisation – the ventricular
muscle mass returning to a resting state
P,Q,R & S are waves, Q,R & S make up a complex,
interval between S and T is called the ST segment
10.
11. ECG Recording
ECG machines record electrical activity on moving
paper – the speed and the squared paper is
standardised
Each large (5mm) square represents 0.2 sec, so 5
large squares per second
1 QRS per 5 squares means a pulse of 60 beats per
minute
PR interval should be 3 – 5 small squares
QRS is usually 3 small squares – any abnormally
long conduction shows as a widened QRS complex
12.
13. Recording an ECG
12 lead means 12 different “electrical pictures”; does
not refer to wires that connect patient to machine
Good skin contact is essential (chest shaving may
be required)
One electrode on each limb, and one that is
positioned in 6 different places on the chest (or has
6 “terminals”)
Electrodes labelled Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg
and Right Leg, plus chest 1 to 6
14. Electrode Placement
Lead V1 is placed over the 4th
intercostal space, to the
right of the sternum
Lead V2 is placed over the 4th
intercostal space, to the left
of the sternum
Lead V4 is placed over the 5th
intercostal space in the mid-
clavicular line
Lead V3 is placed midway between V2 and V4
Lead V5 is placed on the same horizontal level as V4 but
at the anterior axilliary line
Lead V6 is placed on the same horizontal level as V4 and
V5 but on the mid axilliary line
15.
16. The Shape of the QRS Complex
Normal hearts have more muscle in left ventricle
compared to right
QRS complex represents ventricular activity and is
normally the largest deflection
Information can be gathered from looking at rhythm
strips
17. Layout of the ECG
12 views are represented and the segments are
labelled I,II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF.
Most machines display each view horizontally, and
vertically across the page
A rhythm strip is included at the end to enable the
reader to determine rate and regularity of heart
rhythm
18. Normal ECG
A normal ECG will contain regular complexes
Each complex will be made up of a P wave, swiftly
followed by a QRS
The QRS should be pointed
The complexes should be of uniform appearance
