Atrial flutter, 2:1: ECG quiz video
Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.
A 25-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.
Hint
What rhythm is this? Look at the rate, and at the baseline between the beats.
Answer
Atrial flutter, 2:1. Sawtooth flutter waves at about 300 a minute. Every second one gets through, so the rate sits at 150.
