Triage physician interpretation: -sinus bradycardia -lateral ST depressions While there are lateral ST depressions (V5, V6) the deepest ST depressions are in V4. When the ICD was finally interrogated, the syncopal events and shocks correlated with two VF events that were defibrillated successfully. Triage EKG: What do you think?

We examined the effect of ibutilide, a class III antiarrhythmic agent, on the energy requirement for atrial defibrillation and assessed the value of this agent in facilitating cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation that is resistant to conventional transthoracic cardioversion. 25, 2022 ).

Learning points: TCP is primarily recommended for bradycardia that does not respond to atropine, or other agents. As this case shows, electrical capture isn't always possible at lower currents, especially with pads placed in a standard anterolateral "defibrillation" position.

He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.

The patient was put on Extracorporeal Life Support in the ED 3 hours after initial resuscitation, the core temp was 30° C and the patient was defibrillated with a single attempt. On arrival, CPR was continued and core temperature was measured at 18° C (64.4° A 12-lead ECG was recorded: There is sinus rhythm with RBBB and right axis deviation.

ABSTRACT Introduction The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to a transvenous ICD in patients who meet the criteria for ICD implantation without concurrent need for cardiac pacing. The objective of this study is to examine the rates of and indications for S-ICD removal and extraction.

There are 2 main options: Overdrive pacing could be considered and in the right clinical situation, this is often effective for reducing ventricular arrhythmias ( especially in the case of preventing pause induced or bradycardia-induced arrhythmias in association with QTc prolongation ). 2022, September 2) [2] Ward, R.
