ST depression is common BOTH after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and during atrial fib with RVR. Again, it is common to have an ECG that shows apparent subendocardial ischemia after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, after defibrillation, and after cardioversion. The patient was cardioverted. This was done.

She was found to be in ventricular fibrillation and was defibrillated 8 times without a single, even transient, conversion out of fibrillation. She was immediately intubated during continued compressions, then underwent a 9th defibrillation, which resulted in an organized rhythm at 42 minutes after initial arrest.

He underwent further standard resuscitation EXCEPT that we applied the Inspiratory Threshold Device ( ResQPod ) AND applied Dual Sequential Defibrillation (this simply means we applied 2 sets of pads, had 2 defib machines, and defibrillated with both with only a fraction of one second separating each defibrillation.

He was resuscitated with chest compressions and defibrillation and 1 mg of epinephrine. An echocardiogram confirmed aortic stenosis with a large pressure gradient. This young male had ventricular fibrillation during a triathlon. On his bib it stated that he had a congenital heart disorder. His initial ECG is shown here.
