Learn how to identify ventricular fibrillation on ECG, a lethal arrhythmia that causes sudden cardiac arrest. See examples of ECG cases, resuscitation algorithm and causes of sudden cardiac death.
Learn about the types and characteristics of ventricular arrhythmias, abnormal heart rhythms that originate in the ventricles. See EKG examples of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation.
8 sie 2023 · VF is a WCT caused by irregular electrical activity and characterized by a ventricular rate of usually greater than 300 with discrete QRS complexes on the electrocardiogram (ECG). This activity reviews the causes, pathophysiology, and presentation of VF and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management. Objectives:
Learn about ventricular fibrillation, a life-threatening arrhythmia that causes uncoordinated quivering of the ventricle and requires immediate defibrillation. Find out the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of VF and its underlying disorders.
Cardiac arrest is diagnosed when a person suddenly collapses, turns deathly pale, stops breathing, and has no detectable pulse, heartbeat, or blood pressure. Ventricular fibrillation is diagnosed as the cause of the cardiac arrest by electrocardiography (ECG).
Learn how to identify ventricular fibrillation on ECG, a fatal arrhythmia that requires immediate cardioversion. See examples of ECG tracings and references for further reading.
