Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a cardiac dysrhythmia that cannot produce a pulse. In VF, the heart's electrical activity becomes chaotic, preventing it from effectively pumping blood. As a result, there is no measurable blood flow or pulse, leading to a critical lack of oxygenated blood to vital organs. Immediate intervention, such as defibrillation, is required to restore a normal rhythm and pulse.
What else can I help you with?
What is a pulse deficit?
A pulse deficit is the difference in the heart rate and pulse rate when both are checked simultaneously. Pulse deficits are quite often a sign of decreased cardiac output.
This arterial pulse weakness can be directly attributed to a decreased?
cardiac output
What is your heartbeat known as?
Heartbeat is also known as pulse or cardiac cycle.
What are the 3 sign of cardiac arrest?
Three signs of cardiac arrest is loss of consciousness, no heartbeat or pulse and shortness of breath.
When should cardiac pacing be administered to a patient with symptomatic bradycardia with a pulse?
AFTER CPR
When a cardiac arrest occurs and an AED becomes available it should be sed as soon as possible?
An AED should be used during cardiac arrest.
When checking the pulse before starting cardiac compression what should you use?
carotid artery
What two fitness parameters are included in the calculation of cardiac output?
pulse and blood pressure
Which vessels produce a pulse?
Arteries
What does carotid pulse radial pulse and heart monitor mean?
A carotid pulse is the heartbeat measured at the carotid artery site, on the sides of the neck. A radial pulse is the pulse or heartbeat taken at the wrist, where the radius and ulna intersect. A heart monitor is on of many devices that measure cardiac performance.
Can Tyrantrum learn Dragon Pulse?
No, Tyrantrum cannot learn Dragon Pulse.
Why do you assess the brachial pulse in the infant in cardiac arrest?
Because you do not want to cause damage to the soft neck (carotid artery) tissues in an infant when trying to locate their pulse.
