Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common rhythms you'll encounter in a hospitalized patient. With this rhythm, the atria are contracting rapidly and at an irregular rate (very erratic). The atria are basically quivering, which increases the risk of a blood clot developing, which could lead to a stroke.
On an ECG strip, you'll notice that P waves are not present before the QRS complex. Instead, the P waves are replaced with irregular fibrillatory waves (also called F waves or fibrillary waves).
QRS complexes are present and measure less than 0.12 seconds, and the ventricular rate is irregular.
Many things can cause atrial fibrillation, such as heart problems (mitral valve disease, CAD, myocardial infarction, pericarditis, sleep apnea, and more).
Treatment can vary depending on whether the patient is stable or unstable, as well as the type of atrial fibrillation (controlled or uncontrolled). Sometimes an ablation is used in addition to other treatments such as synchronized cardioversion and anticoagulant medications.

Awwwwwww nurse Sarah, you are one in a million. You made my nursing program easier for me. All through nursing school I used your videos for all my lectures and exams. When I was preparing for my nclex, your videos were the only lecture I used. I passed my nclex on the first try, the computer shut me off at 86 questions. And now I am an RN BSN nurse. Thank you so very much. I wish I could pay to you the money for my tuition which I gave it my nursing school for free 👍👍👍👍👍
IF I EVER HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL I HOPE THAT YOU ARE MY NURSE!!!! VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!

Nice amplitude on QRS its duration is good. Good ventricular contractions. As long as the leads were placed accurately. 🤨

Thank you.
Keep it up, dear. Are F waves manifestations of atrial fibrillation?
Thanks for sharing information 👍👍
What if the rhythm is regular?
