Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation Rebel Em Emergency Medicine Blog We present an unusual case of a traumatic cardiac arrest, presenting with refractory ventricular fibrillation due to a cardiac laceration in a young trauma patient with an isolated chest injury. We conducted a cluster randomized trial with crossover among six canadian paramedic services to evaluate dsed and vc defibrillation as compared with standard defibrillation in adult patients with.
Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation Archives Rebel Em Emergency This study showed that, in ohca patients receiving standard shocks at the first three consecutive rhythm checks during resuscitation, the incidence of refractory vf was only 5%. The impact of alternate defibrillation strategies on shock refractory and recurrent ventricular fibrillation: a secondary analysis of the dose vf cluster randomized controlled trial. Approximately one quarter of out of hospital cardiac arrests (ohca) present with initial shockable rhythms of ventricular fibrillation (vf) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pvt). [1] in these cases, better survival outcomes have been reported. [1] however, nearly half of all initial vf pvt cases progress to refractory vf pvt, where arrhythmia persists despite multiple defibrillation. Refractory ventricular fibrillation (rvf) represents a critical medical emergency, with high mortality and limited response to advanced resuscitation protocols.

Refractory ventricular fibrillation (rvf) represents a critical medical emergency, with high mortality and limited response to advanced resuscitation protocols. In this review, we summarize therapeutic interventions and guidelines to provide guidance to clinicians managing patients with ohca and refractory vf, both in the prehospital and emergency department (ed) setting. Refractory ventricular fibrillation (rvf) is a life threatening arrhythmia resistant to standard defibrillation and cpr. learn about dual sequential defibrillation, beta blockade, and withholding epinephrine as possible adjuncts to improve survival. A randomized feasibility trial of ecmo in patients with refractory cardiac arrest was recently initiated in the united states (nct03065647). in summary, there is considerable interest in the effectiveness of ecmo in humans with refractory ohca. Two alternative strategies, double sequential external defibrillation (dsed) and vector change (vc) defibrillation, aim to enhance defibrillation success where conventional methods fail. this review evaluates the clinical feasibility, safety, and implementation barriers of dsed and vc in rvf cases.
