What center of the medulla oblongata initiates autonomic output to the heart?
No, it controls the cardiac center, but it is actually located in the brain.
Can you go into cardiac arrest more than once in about a week and survive?
It is highly unlikely to survive multiple sudden cardiac arrests in a week unless immediate medical intervention is provided. Each cardiac arrest episode can cause serious damage to the heart and brain, increasing the risk of complications and death with each subsequent event. Rapid response and proper treatment are crucial to increase the chances of survival.
Condition in which brain no longer functions?
When the brain no longer functions, it is typically referred to as brain death. Brain death is the irreversible loss of all brain function, including the brainstem, and is considered the legal and medical criteria for death in most countries.
What causes global ceregral ischemia?
Global cerebral ischemia can be caused by a variety of factors, including cardiac arrest, severe hypotension, blood loss, or as a complication of aortic dissection. This condition leads to a widespread lack of blood flow to the brain, resulting in brain cell damage and potentially leading to serious neurological deficits or even death.
Regulator of blood flow?
The medulla oblongatta of the brain stem is the cardiac center that controls blood flow.
Is brain death not as final as cardiac death?
Brain death is considered legally and clinically irreversible, marking the complete and permanent loss of all brain function, including the brainstem. In contrast, cardiac death occurs when the heart stops beating and blood circulation ceases, but is often reversible in some medical scenarios. While both are considered forms of death, brain death is a more definitive end of all neurological activity, whereas cardiac death can sometimes be resuscitated. Therefore, brain death is generally regarded as more final than cardiac death.
What is cardiac necrosis?
Cardiac Necrosis is the death of cardiac tissue.
Is cardiac muscle in the brain?
The only Cardiac muscle in the body is the Heart.
Why brain death occurs exactly 3 minutes after the cardiac arrest?
With the heart not beating anymore, oxygenated blood will no longer be pumped to the brain. This in term will slowly starve to death of oxygen, this, in most cases, is around the three minute mark.
What is cardiac death?
"Cardiac arrest" better known as a heart attack.
Once breathing has stoped and the heart has stoped beating brain death starts in how many minutes?
Brain death can't be determined if the heart has already stopped, this would be considered cardiac death. Brain death is determined when someone is on a ventilator (not breathing on their own due to injury or illness) and an EEG or other procedure has been completed and shows no signs of brain activity. The body will continue to "live" with the help of the ventilator oxygenating the organs, but when taken off the ventilator then the body has no impulse to breathe for itself due to the brain being dead.
What kind of Cardiac conditions can result from a damaged medulla?
One possibility is death because the medulla oblongatta is considered the cardiac center. Without it, or if it is damaged severely can lead to cardiac failure and death.
What happens if a person does not get a pacemaker who needs it?
Cardiac arrythmias.. Sometimes life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Inneficient cardiac out put and death.
What can cause sudden cardiac death?
An infarct.
How is sudden cardiac death described?
When the heart suddenly stops beating effectively and breathing ceases, a person is said to have experienced sudden cardiac death.
Can diarrhoea lead to death?
True
What center of the medulla oblongata initiates autonomic output to the heart?
No, it controls the cardiac center, but it is actually located in the brain.
