Asystole

In case of pacing the coronary heart rhythm from ventricular conduction device, the price slows right down to 30-40/min and QRS complexes on the ECG are wider than 120 ms. In ventricular traumatic inflammation the depolarization of cardiomyocytes is caused by several mechanisms – reentry, induced hobby, ectopic foci of excitation or mixture of these. In ventricular traumatic inflammation (VF) the heart paintings is useless, fibrillating ventricals are not pumping blood and the circulation stops.…

frequent occurrence of such a life-threatening event, it is essential to understand the proper way to react. Cardiac arrests can be separated into three groups; ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia (VF/ VT), pulseless electrical activity (PEA), and asystole. The most common arrhythmia is VF or VT; during this event CPR provides a means to circulate the blood while defibrillation helps to restore rhythm (Huang, He, Yang, Liu, & Jones, 2014). Early defibrillation is associated with higher…

of epidural anesthesia finally peaked with continuous infusion of an anesthetic in thoracic surgeries in 1953 (Blas, 1996). Hemodynamic complications associated with epidural anesthesia include the possible development of severe bradycardia or asystole. According to Hines and Marschall, this is most likely to occur an hour after the epidural is used for injection (2012). Approximately half of the patients that develop a bradydysrhythmia experience shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting,…

Chemical Warfare: An “Unconvential” threat Throughout the history of war, techniques and use of weapons in warfare have been improved over the years. Although some weapons and certain techniques are entirely new, the use of certain weapons such as Chemical Warfare have been around since WW1. Many have thought of Chemical Weapons as being too dangerous while others think it is necessary and essential to modern warfare. What threats does Chemical warfare pose to soldiers and civilians around the…

Medical drama has always been a fairly popular genre on television, but it has grown so much within the past few years. What exactly is medical drama? A medical drama is a televised show that has a setting of a hospital, or surgery room, and typically has characters acting as doctors or nurses. During these medical shows more events happen beyond the medical part, and goes further than the events that pertain to the characters’ job. A typical medical drama portrays some aspects of characters’…

suffered an arrest with ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia had about a 50% chance of little to no neurological dysfunction following the hypothermia treatment (2015). Patients who suffered an arrest with pulseless electrical activity or asystole showed little to no success following hypothermia treatment. There are some exclusion and inclusion criteria to be able to use this protocol. Some exclusions are pregnancy, younger than 18 years of age, inability maintain blood pressure…
