A Wandering Atrial Pacemaker are usually what kind of rate?

• 60-100

• 101-180

Which of the following EKG machine functions should an EKG tech use to control and regulate the height of EKG waveforms on the tracing?

• Speed

• Output display

• Artifact filter

• Gain

Answer explanation

The speed control is used to control the speed at which the paper runs during recording.

The output display is the screen that shows the EKG tracing.

The artifact filter decreases artifacts or abnormal marks on the EKG tracing.

The technician should use the gain control to adjust the height of the waveform.
