H-hi again!
|
|
There's something else you need to know about SVT heartbeats.
|
|
First, let's recap how SVT beats work...
|
|
(The nurse does a lot of work around here.)
|
If first beat is missed:
|
Remember to follow the nurse's "Get" and "Set" rhythm.
|
If first beat is hit:
|
Nice, got it in one go.
|
If any beat is missed:
|
OK!
|
|
Now you should learn how to deal with attacks.
|
If all beats are hit:
|
Wow! You did it perfectly? I bet you took music classes as a kid.
|
|
Now, you should learn how to deal with attacks.
|
|
When SVT patients have attacks, their heart rate doubles.
|
|
And when their heart settles, it halves.
|
|
The nurse will see changes coming.
|
|
And she will warn you with a faster cue or a slower cue..
|
|
Just follow the rhythm established by her "Get" and "Set" calls.
|
|
Here we go!
|
If half the beats are missed:
|
Caught you off guard, huh.
|
|
Don't worry, let's try that again.
|
|
Pay close attention to the nurse, but don't stop hitting the current rhythm until she finishes her cue with "Go"!
|
If the transition is hit:
|
Nice, nailed the transition.
|
If half the beats are hit:
|
Caught you a little bit off-guard, huh?
|
|
Don't worry, let's try that again.
|
|
Pay close attention to the nurse!
|
If all the beats are hit:
|
Excellent!
|
|
One more set, for the patient's sake.
|
|
Get ready, you can handle this.
|
If half the beats are missed:
|
Oh dear...
|
|
Feel free to come back and practice this again if you'd like.
|
If half the beats are hit:
|
Smooth!
|
|
You've got it down.
|
If all the beats are hit:
|
Smooth!
|
|
You've got it down. Honestly, that was perfect!
|
|
That patient, Cole, keeps drinking coffee lately.
|
|
Now he's experiencing caffeine-induced attacks.
|
|
You just need to keep him stabilised.
|
|
Good luck.
