Study Notes
EKG Waveforms
- P wave represents atrial depolarization, indicating the electrical activity as the atria contract.
- QRS wave complex signifies ventricular depolarization, showing the rapid contraction of the ventricles.
- T wave indicates ventricular repolarization, reflecting the recovery phase of the ventricles after contraction.
Heart Chambers
- The heart consists of two upper chambers known as the left and right atria, which receive blood.
- The two lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles, responsible for pumping blood out of the heart.
Types of Scheduling
- Cluster scheduling involves organizing appointments for groups of similar patients, such as immunization sessions on specific days.
- Double booking refers to assigning two patients to the same time slot for appointments, often used in high-demand scenarios.
- Wave scheduling allows multiple patients to be booked in the same hour, with services provided in the order of their arrival.
