across
1 ______ tremors are jittery patterns of artifact associated with a shaking patient or shaking wires.
6 the control feature of the ekg machine that regulates the size of the waves and complexes
7 a smaller type of shock that involves a pathway directly into the heart by a device such as a pacemaker
8 baseline ______ is the type of artifact in which the baseline moves up and down.
9 if the artifact is in leads avr, i, and ii, the corrective action should be directed toward the ______ arm.
10 alleviating the cause of artifact and recording errors

down
2 the heart, electrically speaking, is a ______.
3 unwanted jitter or interference on the ekg tracing
4 a high - voltage shock resulting from inadequate grounding of electrical equipment
5 sixty - cycle interference causes a ______ - looking pattern on the ekg paper.

Explanation:

1. (Across 1) These tremors are a common EKG artifact linked to patient/wire movement.
2. (Across 6) This EKG machine feature adjusts waveform size for readability.
3. (Across 7) This low-voltage shock targets the heart directly via implanted devices.
4. (Across 8) This artifact shifts the EKG baseline vertically.
5. (Across 9) AVR, I, and II correspond to the right arm electrode.
6. (Across 10) This term refers to fixing issues that distort EKG readings.
7. (Down 2) The heart functions as an electrical generator for rhythm.
8. (Down 3) This is the general term for unwanted EKG interference.
9. (Down 4) This dangerous shock comes from poor electrical grounding.
10. (Down 5) Sixty-cycle interference creates a uniform, grid-like EKG pattern.
