Spinal cord contusion primarily affects the spinal cord and may lead to various neurological deficits, but it does not directly cause ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is typically associated with cardiac issues, such as myocardial infarction or severe electrolyte imbalances. However, severe spinal injuries can lead to autonomic dysregulation, which may indirectly affect heart function. Therefore, while not a direct cause, complications from spinal cord injuries could potentially contribute to cardiac disturbances in some cases.
What else can I help you with?
Can Afrin cause ventricular fibrillation?
yes
Which of these conditions is often the cause of sudden cardiac death?
ventricular fibrillation
The amount of current that it takes to cause ventricular fibrillation is?
6-30 milliamperes
If certain conditions exist current levels as low as can be fatal?
Current as low a one milliampere at 60 hertz, applied directly across the heart, can cause irreversible ventricular fibrillation.
If certain conditions exist current levels as low as can be fatal.?
Current as low a one milliampere at 60 hertz, applied directly across the heart, can cause irreversible ventricular fibrillation.
What condition is an irregular quivering action of the atria and a very rapid ventricular heartbeat?
"atrial fibrillation" is the irregular quivering action of the atria, which in turn, may cause "palpitations" (the awareness of an irregular heartbeat) and/or "tachycardia" (rapid heartbeat).
What to do Rough handling of a hypothermic patient with a pulse may cause?
Individuals in moderate to severe hypothermia stages become more susceptible to sudden ventricular fibrillation http://theemtspot.com/2010/02/25/responding-to-hypothermia/
What is the minimum amount of current enough to kill a man?
100mA of 60Hz AC current for three seconds can cause ventricular fibrillation. From "Deleterious Effecst of Eelctric Shock", Charles F. Dalziel.
Does atrial fibrillation affect central venous pressure?
Yes, atrial fibrillation can affect central venous pressure (CVP). During atrial fibrillation, the loss of coordinated atrial contraction can lead to impaired ventricular filling and reduced cardiac output, which may cause changes in venous return and increase CVP. Additionally, the irregular and often rapid heart rate associated with atrial fibrillation can further influence hemodynamics, potentially resulting in elevated CVP in certain patients, especially those with underlying heart failure or volume overload.
Why we have AED's?
Persons heart stops (Oh no, heart attack, if only I had an AED to bring him back!) (Look! AED! Use it!) (Bzzt!) Hes back! Real answer: Most common cause of Cardiac arrest, is Ventricular Fibrillation. This is frequently reversible when an AED is used immediately.....
What refers to the bruise caused by blunt trauma to the skin?
A bruise is a contusion. Bruises or contusions are not really classified, but the cause and injury to other structures are classified, such as "blunt trauma". Most bruising in healthy individuals is not a cause for alarm. The injury to other structures is the concern.Note: Unusual bruising without injury can also be a cause for concern.
What is a ventricular tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia-- A rapid heart beat, usually over 100 beats per minute.
