Emergency intracardiac defibrillation for refractory ventricular fibrillation during routine electrophysiologic study.
Ventricular fibrillation refractory to cardiopulmonary resuscitation including multiple transthoracic defibrillations occurred in four patients during 1,215 consecutive ventricular tachycardia induction studies. A technique of emergency intracardiac defibrillation for management of refractory ventricular fibrillation is described. In four patients, stable monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (32...

متن کاملElectrophysiology of ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation.
The survival rate from ventricular fibrillation is very high for short-duration fibrillation (<30 secs) but decreases to approximately 3% to 30% in out-of-hospital conditions. During short-duration fibrillation, action potentials occur rapidly with no intervening period of electrical diastole; a shock defibrillates by interacting with the fibrillation action potential to produce a uniformly lon...
متن کاملInadvertently Developed Ventricular Fibrillation during Electrophysiologic Study and Catheter Ablation: Incidence, Cause, and Prognosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ventricular fibrillation (VF) can inadvertently occur during electrophysiologic study (EPS) or catheter ablation. We investigated the incidence, cause, and progress of inadvertently developed VF during EPS and catheter ablation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We reviewed patients who had developed inadvertent VF during EPS or catheter ablation. Patients who developed VF during...
متن کاملFirst Report of Survival in Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation After Dual-Axis Defibrillation and Esmolol Administration
There is a subset of patients who suffer a witnessed ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrest and despite receiving reasonable care with medications (epinephrine and amiodarone) and multiple defibrillations (3+ attempts at 200 joules of biphasic current) remain in refractory VF (RVF), also known as electrical storm. The mortality for these patients is as high as 97%. We present the case of a patien...
