Ventricular fibrillation, also known clinically as ventricular fibrillation, is a malignant and fatal arrhythmia in which the patient suffers loss of consciousness, convulsions, respiratory arrest, or even death. It is…
In case of ventricular fibrillation, immediate asynchronous DC defibrillation with a monophasic defibrillation energy of 360 joules is required. After defibrillation, the rhythm is checked and if sinus rhythm is…
If a patient with ventricular fibrillation is encountered or detected clinically, the preferred treatment is definitely asynchronous electrical resuscitation. However, there are times when a patient with ventricular fibrillation is…
The difference between ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation lies in the different presentation of the two on the ECG. Ventricular tachycardia is a tachycardia of the ventricles, while ventricular fibrillation…
There are clear differences between ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation in terms of pathology, ECG presentation, symptoms, treatment, and prognosis. Ventricular fibrillation is a malignant arrhythmia that often occurs prior…
In acute myocardial infarction, the threshold for ventricular fibrillation is significantly lowered, and ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is easily induced if premature beats occur. This is one of…
