Study Notes

Measuring the QRS Complex

Locate the QRS complex on the EKG strip for accurate measurement.
Measure from the end of the PR interval to the end of the S-wave to determine the QRS complex length.
Count the number of small boxes between the two measurement points.
Each small box represents 0.04 seconds in time.

Example Calculations for QRS Complex

A QRS complex measuring 3 whole boxes and 2 half boxes corresponds to a duration of 0.16 seconds. (Calculation: 0.02 + 0.04 + 0.04 + 0.04 + 0.02 = 0.16)
For a QRS complex of 1 whole box and 1 half box, the total duration is 0.06 seconds. (Calculation: 0.02 + 0.04 = 0.06)
A measurement of 3 whole boxes and 1 half box results in a QRS duration of 0.14 seconds. (Calculation: 0.04 + 0.04 + 0.04 + 0.02 = 0.14)
