Which would produce the most life-threatening condition atrial flutter ventricular flutter atrial fibrillation or ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation, since this pumps blood to the rest of the body.
Which form of cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Ventricular Fibrillation
How many people die from ventricular fibrillation?
There is about 277 people who die from ventricular fibrillation (from google)
What are the major types of arrhythmia?
Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular tachycardia, Ventricular fibrillation, Supraventricular tachycardia
How is ventricular fibrillation diagnosed?
When an individual suddenly collapses, the possibility of ventricular fibrillation should be considered immediately.
Is atrial fibrillation worse that ventricular fibrillation?
No, ventricular fibrillation is worse than atrial fibrillation. This is because the ventricle is the chamber responsible for the main force pumping the blood out of the heart. If this contraction is not coordinated (like when fibrillation occurs), then the heart will not be able to function and consciousness will be lost within a few seconds. Ventricular fibrillation may result from electric shock, major myocardial infarct or some anaesthetic drugs. Resuscitation is usually possible by applying an electric shock (defibrillation) - which causes all cells to enter the refractory period and gives the sinoatrial node a chance to resume its normal pacemaker activity.
What cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.
How can ventricular fibrillation be prevented?
A healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart diseases which lead to ventricular fibrillation is the best prevention.
Identification of Ventricular fibrillation?
Ventricular fibrillation is the most serious cardiac arrhythmia and it means simultaneous haphazard electrical activity of the Heart and it occurs in death. If the patient has collapsed with no pulse and the monitor shows a flat wave, then its Ventricular fibrillation.
What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
Can Afrin cause ventricular fibrillation?
yes
Is there a pulse rate in ventricular fibrillation?
ofcourse.
