Sorry for not getting back to you all on this one--I'm moving to a new house and have been busy.
All of your replys are great, but these T-waves are very random, it does not appear to be artifact but I have no other explaination for its irregularity. P waves march out, followed by QRS's that march out and normal T waves follow QRS's,except for this extra T that appears randomly but frequently through out all points of the EKG-- unfortunately I have no strip to post right now but will try to access med. rec. on my next shift. Thank you all for your help...you're a great bunch! Hope we can figure this out, as we all know anything is possible but not without explaining.

"They're definitely NOT t-waves because t-waves CANNOT occur inependant of qrs complex...ie they arent seen on their own. U-waves would be unlikely because u-waves arent that big, and u-waves wouldn't be seen superimposed on qrs or p-waves."-Dinith88 posted on 9/4/2004-post #5

This was my though exactly-- it is impossible to be a Twave simply because there is nothing to repolarize. But is is extremely similar to the patients T wave that I had to question it... I'll try to get a scan to you if I can access the chart at this late date.
