Cardiac arrest rhythms & protocols

VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA















VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION















Recognizing ventricular fibrillation: There will be large fibrillation waves as seen on the ECG strip above, this is called coarse ventricular fibrillation, this will eventually lead to small fibrillatory waves, then the rhythm is called fine ventricular fibrillation

  • Rhythm: Chaotic
  • Rate: Indiscernible
  • P wave: Absent
  • R wave interval:  Unmeasurable
  • QRS complex: Indiscernible
  • T wave: Indiscernible
  • QT interval: Indiscernible
  • Fibrillation waves: Present
