ACLS REVISION ..... HEART BLOCK?

whats the difference BETWEEN THOSE? there are first degree, 2nd degree type 1(wenckebach) and type 2 (mobitz2) and 3rd degree heart block...RX LASTLY IS BY TRANSCUTANEOUS PACING (antar Gleaneagles ja!!!)

First Degree - stated that PR interval is more than 5 mm (meaning more than 1 big box).

Second Degree; Type 1 - Known as Wenckebach. it is when PR interval has been prolonged till at one time P wave is all by itself.

Type 2 - known as Mobitz 2. PR interval is constant and normal but then some P wave does not followed by QRS. ( OH YEAH I GOT IT NOW!!!!)

Third Degree - P wave has no relation with QRS complexes ( ani sanang ).

N.B all abnormal wave forms should be at least identified 3 or more !!
