Unit 2- CPR and AED
Across
- 5. Medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal
- 6. Type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, that affects your heart’s ventricles
- 8. Abnormal heart rhythms that are slow heart rhythms, less than 50 beats per minute; usually caused by abnormal flow of electricity in the heart, ie an electrical short circuit
- 9. Main purpose is to provide oxygenated blood to the brain and the heart and keeps these organs alive until defibrillation shocks the heart back to a normal rhythm
- 10. Abnormal heart rhythms and usually classified by two main types
Down
- 1. The stopping of the heart by administering a controlled electric shock in order to allow restoration of the normal rhythm
- 2. Rhythms that are caused by an aberration in the electrical conduction system of the heart
- 3. Sudden loss of all heart activity due to an irregular heart rhythm
- 4. A normal heart rhythm that arises from the sinus mode, typically between 70 to 100 beats per minute
- 7. Abnormal heart rhythms that are fast heart rhythms, more than 100 beats per minute; usually caused by abnormal flow of electricity in the heart, ie an electrical short circuit
