What else can I help you with?
Can Afrin cause ventricular fibrillation?
yes
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.
Which of these conditions is often the cause of sudden cardiac death?
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.
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/
A common household circiut rated at 15 amps can carry approximately how many times as much current passing through the heart muscle as is required to produce heart fibrillation?
A 15-amp circuit can carry about 100 times more current than what is required to cause heart fibrillation. The current needed to induce fibrillation is around 0.1 amp, while typical 15-amp circuits can handle 15 amps of current.
Can eye dilation drops cause atrial fibrillation?
The amount of atropine in these eyedrops is insufficient to cause atrial fib. Many medications actually contain trace amounts of atropine to discourage abuse.
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 is a ventricular tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia-- A rapid heart beat, usually over 100 beats per minute.
Is atrial fibrillation cause of disability?
yes,it is. lots have said no but yes.
