with which of the following rhythms do you use defibrillation?
ventricular fibrillation
sinus tachycardia
atrial flutter
atrial fibrillation
Defibrillation is a medical procedure that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heart rhythm. It is used for life - threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a chaotic electrical activity in the ventricles that results in no effective pumping of blood. Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate (e.g., due to exercise, stress). Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation are arrhythmias of the atria. While they can cause problems, they are not typically treated with defibrillation (unless they degenerate into a more serious ventricular arrhythmia). Defibrillation is specifically for ventricular fibrillation (and pulseless ventricular tachycardia).
