Junctional escape rhythm: ECG quiz video
Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.
A 27-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? Slow and narrow. Is there a P wave before each QRS?
Answer
Junctional escape rhythm. No P wave in front of the QRS, only a small inverted one just after it. The AV junction has taken over at about 45.
