Study Notes
Ventricular Fibrillation Treatment
- Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening condition, requiring immediate medical attention.
- Chest compressions (CPR) and defibrillation are the primary treatments.
- Defibrillation involves delivering an electric shock to the heart to reset the rhythm.
- Before defibrillation or cardioversion, ensure all personnel and equipment are clear of the bed to prevent potential injury from electrical shock.
