I am still learning this, as is about to be readily apparent.
The patient was a post-CABGx4, the heart rate is 95. It is from lead II. I see that the rhythm looks regular, I see the inverted QRS (is that normal for some people?- I think my teacher said that?), the T seems big, and the leading edge of the P is higher than the ending (it dips down before the QRS, does that make sense?).
Can someone who knows what they are talking about tell me what they see & what it means, if anything?
I took a picture, let's see if I can get it attached.
It was from tele; & I did not have access to go back and get a copy of a 12 lead, sorry (we changed units).
My teacher ended up saying most of the same things that you guys said.
From all I could tell, the patient was having a good recovery from the CABG & mainly concerned about going on a vacation to Hawaii that they had already planned prior to having to have bypass (interestingly it said in his chart that he had gone into asystole on the cath lab table before his CABG...not sure if he should go trapsing off to Hawaii in 2 or 3 weeks).
