Ventricular fibrillation during hypothermia successfully treated by rewarming and electroshock.
Ventricular fibrillation is one of the major complications which may arise during induced controlled hypothermia. In the absence of cardiac manipulations this condition may arise spontaneously at temperatures below 25° C., but even at temperatures around 280 C. ventricular fibrillation often follows intracardiac manipulaticns (Bigelow, Lindsay, Harrison, Gordon, and Greenwood, 1950). Various me...
متن کاملVentricular fibrillation during sport activity successfully treated.
Survival after out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest is estimated at less than 5%. We report a case of ventricular fibrillation during sports activity. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated early by a layperson, and defibrillation was successfully performed within less than three minutes, with an automated external defibrillator. The public access to defibrillation programs has increased...
متن کاملAccidental hypothermia treated by central rewarming through the airway.
Eleven hypothermic patients were treated by heat supplied via the airway. Three patients died during rewarming, three died of unrelated causes several days after successful rewanning and five survived. Core temperatures were measured by a low reading mercury rectal thermometer and by a thermistor probe inserted into the rectum or midoesophagus. In every patient the core temperature rose without...
متن کاملVentricular Fibrillation in Induced Hypothermia
First proposed by Bigelow et al. (1950), the clinical use of hypothermia has become more widespread in the last eight years. Due to the fact that at low temperatures metabolic processes are reduced and oxygen demands are decreased, hypothermia has proved to be of great value in allowing the surgeon to perform intracardiac operations under direct vision with short-term circulatory occlusion. Unf...
