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.

Is the cardiac output equal to the pulse rate times peripheral resistance?

No, cardiac output is not equal to pulse rate times peripheral resistance. Cardiac output is the product of heart rate (pulse rate) and stroke volume, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat. Peripheral resistance refers to the resistance blood encounters as it flows through the blood vessels, which influences blood pressure but is not directly part of the equation for cardiac output. Thus, the relationship between these variables is more complex and involves additional factors.


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.
