Across
  1. 3. The wire which carries away the leakage current
  2. 4. A thick looking artifact on the EKG paper
  3. 5. The filtering out of extraneous noise and artifact for a smoother EKG recording
  4. 10. An instrument that magnifies signals
  5. 13. Applied to the skin, this helps the electrodes to pick up the impulses
  6. 14. A quick check of this is the best way to determine whether an abnormal rhythm is real or artifact
  7. 15. A type of tachycardia artifact
  8. 17. Controls the speed of the EKG paper printout
  9. 19. A small electrical current that escapes a device's insulation
  10. 21. A low voltage electrical shock caused by a device such as a pacemaker
Down
  1. 1. The millimeters per second that is considered the normal speed for the EKG paper printout
  2. 2. Can be caused by problems with the wires or by loose electrode patches or cables
  3. 6. This converts an analog signal to a digital signal so that the EKG can be recorded on paper
  4. 7. An artifact caused by tremors or shaking wires
  5. 8. Occurs on the monitor during chest compressions
  6. 9. Determining and alleviating the artifact on the EKG
  7. 11. A high voltage electrical shock caused by improper grounding of electrical equipment
  8. 12. A potential result of macro or microshocks
  9. 16. A cardiac arrest alert
  10. 18. Artifact in which the baseline moves up and down the EKG paper
