Pacemaker Failure following External Defibrillation
Schematic diagram of an alternate possible mechanism in the Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome. The impulse from the sinoatrial node (SAN) arrives either via the posterior internodal tract (PIT) or the normal tract to the atrioventricular node (AVN) at a His-Purkinje junction (LAMBDA) distal to the recording site of the His electrode. Retrograde depolarization of the proximal, and antegrade depolariza...
متن کاملPacemaker failure following external defibrillation.
T HE ENCLOSED tracings were recorded from a patient with transvenous Medtronic Demand Pacemaker Model 5841 no. 9K00824 after d-c shocks at 400 w-sec administered for ventricular fibrillation. The beginning of ventricular fibrillation is shown on strip A. The first and second d-c shocks did not abolish the fibrillation. The third d-c shock transiently abolished ventricular fibrillation, and irre...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity and skin permeation of iodine present in an iodine-impregnated surgical incise drape.
OBJECTIVES The antimicrobial efficacy of an iodine-impregnated incise drape against MRSA was evaluated in a skin model. The permeation of iodine from this drape into the skin was also assessed. METHODS The antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated in ex vivo studies following application of the surgical incise drape for various times on the surface of donor skin, which was inoculated with either 1...
متن کاملThe use of an iodophor-impregnated plastic incise drape in abdominal surgery--a controlled clinical trial.
A prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the use of a new iodophor-impregnated incise drape with a standard skin preparation technique in 1102 patients undergoing abdominal surgical procedures is reported. The effect of the incise drape on wound bacterial contamination and subsequent wound infections is compared. The iodophor-impregnated plastic incise drape reduced the contamination o...
متن کاملMechanisms of Defibrillation Failure
Since defibrillation by high-energy electric shocks is the only effective means for termination of ventricular fibrillation, defibrillation shocks are now widely used in clinical practice for prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, the high-energy shocks could result in myocardial dysfunction and damage (Runsio et al., 1997) and in psychological trauma (Maisel, 2006). Comprehensive underst...
