PHYSIOLOGICAL TACHYCARDIA AND BRADYCARDIA..WHY??
human heart electrical system
INTRODUCTION
Heart rate, or heart pulse, is the speed of
the heartbeat measured by the number of
heartbeats per unit of time (bpm).
The heart rate can vary according to the
body's physical needs, including the need
to absorb oxygen and excrete carbon
dioxide.
Activities that can provoke change
include physical exercises, sleep, anxiety,
stress, illness, ingesting, and drugs.
The normal resting adult human heart rate
ranges from 60–100 bpm.
CONT’•Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, defined
as below 60 bpm
• Tachycardia is a fast heart rate, defined
as above 100 bpm at rest.[
•When the heart is not beating in a
regular pattern, this is referred to as
an arrhythmia, These abnormalities of
heart rate sometimes, but not always,
indicate disease.
BRADYCARDIA
Bradycardia: A slow heart rate, usually
defined as less than 60 beats per
minute.
Relative bradycardia is used in explaining a
heart rate that, although not actually
below 60 BPM, is still considered too slow
for the individual's current medical
condition.
Absolute bradycardia A waking heart rate
below 40 BPM is considered absolute
bradycardia.
BRADYCARDIA IN HEALTHYDuring sleep, a slow heartbeat with
rates around 40–50 BPM is common,
and is considered normal
Highly trained athletes ( athletic
heart syndrome) know as atheletic
bradycardia or atheletic associated
cardiomegaly.
CLASSIFICATION1.Atrial
respiratory sinus arrhythmia
sinus bradycardia
Sick sinus syndrome
2.Atrioventricular nodal
An atrioventricular nodal bradycardia or
AV junction rhythm is usually caused by
the absence of the electrical impulse from
the sinus node.
3.Ventricular: A ventricular bradycardia,
also known as ventricular escape rhythm
or idioventricular rhythm.
CausesGeneral causes:
1º: Abnormal pacemaker/conduction
system (congenital or postsurgical
Injury)
infectious: Sepsis
Aging.
Heart diseases ( myocarditis,
cardiomyopathy, heart block,
Sick sinus syndrome,Mi)
Drugs( beta blocker, calcium
channel blocker, digoxin, opioid
drugs, antiarrthymias drugs)
2º: Hs & Ts:
– Hypoxia – Heart block
– H+ ions (acidosis) – Hypothermia –
Hyperkalemia, -hypoglycemia-
hypothyroidism- hypovolemia
-Trauma (head)
-Toxins
-Tension pnemothorax
-Temponate
-Thrombosis
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Near-fainting or
fainting (syncope)
Dizziness
Weakness
Fatigue
Shortness of
breath
Chest pains
Low BP
cyanosis
Confusion or
memory problems
Easily tiring
during physical
activity
Low heart rate
History & examination
R/O
Risk factors
use of known causative medications
age over 70 years
recent myocardial infarction
Surgery
cont’
Hypothyroidism
electrolyte disorders
infections
exposure to toxins
infiltrative diseases
sleep apnoea
Key diagnostic factors
presence of risk factors (common)
pulse rate below 50 bpm (common)
dizziness/lightheadedness (common)
syncope (common)
fatigue (common)
exercise intolerance (common)
shortness of breath (common)
cannon a-waves in jugular venous
pulse (common)
jugular venous distension (common)
Epidemiology
Impossible to give meaningful figures on
incidence and prevalence.
In most young people bradycardia is
physiological.
The incidence of pathological bradycardia
rises with age as the underlying causes
become more frequent.
DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
Echocardiogram
Blood tests:
CBC
Urine Examination
LFT,
Blood glucose.
Cont’
Electrolytes
Creatinine
Cardiac enzymes (troponin),CK-Mb
ABG
Chest X-ray
MANAGEMENT
Stable patients:
12 lead EKG
Consult cardiology
Unstable patients:
CABs
ACLS -Bradycardia Algorithm
Address reversible causes
(Hs & Ts)
AHA ACLS Adult
Bradycardia Algorithm
Bradyarrhythmia typically seen when the HR <50/min
Is bradyarrhythmia causing the symptoms?
The priority should be identify and treat underlying cause
Maintain patent airway: assist breathing if necessary.
Apply oxygen ( if hypoxemic; Monitor pulse oxymetry
Apply cardiac monitor; monitor blood pressure.
I/V access
12 lead ECG. If available; do not delay treatment
Is the beadyarrhythmia
causing:
Hypotension?
Altered mental status?
Signs of suck?
Ischemic chest pain?
Acute heart failure?
Yes
No
Monitor and
observe
Give atropine
If atropine in affective;
Transcutaneous pacing (OR)
Dopamine infusion (OR)
Epinephrine infusion
Consider
Expert consultation
Transcutaneous pacing
Doses/details
Atropine IV dose;
First 0.5mg bolus
Repeat every 3-5minutes;
maximum 3mg
Dopamine IV infusion
2-10mcg/kg/minute
Epinephrine IV infusion
2-10mcg/minute
Drug calculation
Dopamine
• Preparation : 200mg in 45 NS
• 1ml=4mg=4000mcg
• Dose: 5mcg – 20mcg/kg/min
• E.g. Body wt= 50kgs
• 5mcg x 50 x 60=15000
• 15000/4000= 3.75ml/hr
• (OR)
• Desired dose*body wt in kg*0.015=dose in ml
Epinephrine/Adrenaline
•Preparation: 2mg in 49ml D5
•Strength: 1ml=0.04mg=40mcg
•Dose: 0.2mcg-1.3mcg/kg/min
E.g.
0.2 x 50 x 60=600mcg
600/40=15m/hr
NURSING INTERVENTION
According to patient condition, do
planning, assessment, write nursing
diagnosis and provide care.
General nursing intervention
If ineffective air
way/unconscious; lateral recumbent or
three-quarters prone position of
the body (lateral sim’s position)
Suctioning,
place air way
Cont’Monitor with pulse oxymeter
Glasgow coma scale
Catheterization
IV access
Close monitoring of vital signs (BP,
pulse, temperature, RR)
Notify the concern physician
Reassurance to patient /attendant
cont’
ECG
Put patient on monitor
Medication as per physician advised
Informed emergency laboratory, X-ray,
people if necessary.
Assess the side affect of drugs.
