According to new study results, the presence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia as the first recorded rhythm after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is much greater ...

Among people whose heart attack came in a public place, 38% to 79% had ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia--meaning an AED can be life-saving. Advertisement.

The estimated incidence of EMS-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the US and Canada is about 50 to 55/100 000 persons/year and approximately 25% of these present with pulseless ventricular ...

In the European multicenter trial, 275 comatose survivors of a cardiac arrest of cardiac cause (ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia) were enrolled. 27 Patients were ...

Current recommendations for cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) call for defibrillation within 2 minutes.

“Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrests are referred to as shockable rhythms, as electrical defibrillation are more likely to succeed in patients with ...

A 27 year old male, occasional tobacco chewer, non-diabetic, and normotensive presented with chest pain of 2 hours duration and was brought to the ER in an unconscious state, pulseless, and with a ...

However, in their new study, the researchers looked at 255 adults in Oregon who'd had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest caused by either ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

However, around 20% of patients whose cardiac arrest is caused by “ventricular fibrillation” or “pulseless ventricular tachycardia” do not respond to the standard defibrillation approach.

These AEDs automatically diagnose the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
