Hypothermia led to significantly better survival rates and neurological outcomes in patients with ventricular fibrillation but not in those with other initial rhythms. Despite evidence that ...

but ventricular fibrillation occasionally occurs, 1 particularly during hypothermia or during anesthesia with chloroform or cyclopropane. Ventricular fibrillation causes an immediate cessation of ...

Low voltage. Bradycardia: This can be sinus bradycardia, junctional bradycardia, atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response or higher grade AV blocks. Baseline artifact from shivering ...

and one patient was rewarmed before the end of the protocol because he had multiple premature ventricular contractions. Despite this, the authors concluded that hypothermia was safe. We recommend ...

Ventricular fibrillation is a cardiac arrhythmia in which the muscle in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) contracts irregularly and rapidly. The ventricles quiver and are unable to ...

The studies that were made by Senning 1 and by Glenn and Sewell, 2 independently, on deliberately induced ventricular fibrillation ... anoxia and hypothermia. Though it has been determined ...
