AV BlocksAV block occur when the conduction of
impulse through AV node decrease or stop Prolonged P-R interval or more P waves
than QRSBlock means DELAY.
Causes Medication heart & valvular disease

1 -1st Degree AV BlockIt artial impulse conduct through AV node
into ventricle are rate slower than normal It looks like the sinus rhythm but with
prolonged P-R interval..Normal and identical P waves. Each P is Followed by a QRSNormal QRS.P-R interval is 0.20 sec or moreP: QRS ratio : 1 :1
Prolonged P-R intervalkemo 2009
2 -2nd Degree AV Block a- Mobitz I Normal QRS. Identical P waves. P-R interval progressively prolongs
until there is P not followed by a QRS
P without QRS
kemo 2009
2 -2nd Degree AV Block a- Mobitz II
Identical P waves, Not every P is followed by a QRS.
When there is a QRS, it has to be preceded by a P wave
Atrial rate is regular.Check BP immediately.
Every QRS preceded by a P waves
Identical P waves

4- 3rd Degree AV Block( Complete Heart Block )
No relationship between P waves and QRS complexesCheck the BP immediately

ECG: changes in heart rate, rhythm.*Blood chemistry: electrolyte imbalance.Nursing intervention:Monitor pulse for irregular pattern or abnormally rapid or slow rate.Observe for arrhythmiascontinuous cardiac monitoring.Assess cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurovascular status.
Possible diagnostic findings
kemo 2009
Initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), if indicated, until other advanced cardiac life support
measures are available and successful.
Perform defibrillation early for ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Nursing intervention
Nursing interventionAdminister medications, oxygen, and I.V
fluids, as needed.Prepare for procedures, such as
cardioversion Monitor for predisposing factors (such as
fluid and electrolyte imbalance) and signs of drug
toxicity, especially digoxin. Monitor and record vital signs.Maintain prescribed diet.Maintain bed rest, until patient is stable.Provide support to the patient and family. kemo 2009
