    Direct pressure on pulse points can slow bleeding by compressing blood vessels, initiating clot formation. The mean QRS axis represents the average direction of electrical activity during ventricular depolarization, with a normal value between 0 and +90 degrees. Conditions that can cause right or left axis deviation include ventricular hypertrophy, complete bundle branch blocks.

    Anatomic sites where a pulse can be palpated often correspond to pressure points for stopping hemorrhage in first aid

    treatment. Why?

    Pressure Points
    Direct pressure compresses the blood vessels, thus slowing down the bleeding and initiating clot formation

    What does the mean QRS axis represent? What is its normal values? What conditions can cause right axis or left axis deviation?

    Mean QRS Axis


    Mean Electric Axis average direction of electrical activity during ventricular depolarization Normal Value: 0 to +90 degrees Positive Lead I Positive aVF

    Right Axis Deviation


    Negative Lead I Positive Lead aVF +90 to +180 degrees Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Complete Right Bundle Branch Block

    Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

    Complete Right Bundle Branch Block

    Left Axis Deviation


    Positive Lead I Negative Lead aVF -30 to -90 degrees Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Complete Left Bundle Branch Block

    Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

    Complete Left Bundle Branch Block
