‘fibrillation’

siehe Ton English: An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered electrical impulse generator which is implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. The device is programmed to detect cardiac arrhythmia and correct it by delivering a jolt of electricity. In current variants, the ability to revert ventricular fibrillation has been extended to include both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias as well as the ability to perform biventricular pacing in patients with congestive heart failure or bradycardia.

Internal Heart Defibrilation

Part 2 of 2 – Robbie and Carrie paid a visit to St. John Ambulance. On this episode of The Meat, we discuss some practical questions you may have about defibrillator technology with Mia Nagasaki-Kelly from St. John Ambulance. We answer your questions about the safety of using a defibrillator on a child, what to do if the person in need of defibrillation is wet, what to check for before using a defibrillator, using a defibrillator on someone who has an internal pacemaker, and more. 9 minutes 53 seconds.

Product Description
Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the arrhythmia, and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body’s natural pacemaker, in the sinoatr… More >>

Daniel Lustgarten, MD, Ph.D, Fletcher Allen/UVM, explains what to expect before, during and after the implantation of a cardiac defibrillator.

OR-Live.com webcast February 28th at 6:30 PM EST from Halifax Health Medical Center Halifax Health will present Florida’s first live online Automated Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator case on Thursday, February 28, at 6:30 pm. A majority of the 200000 — 400000 people that die suddenly in the United States each year do so as a result of heart rhythm abnormalities known as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a battery-powered device that significantly improves the chances of survival in people at high risk for these arrhythmias. Modern ICDs are sophisticated devices that are able to perform three general functions: treatment of dangerous ventricular arrhythmias, record the heart’s activity in the device memory, and standard pacemaker functions. Hanscy Seide, MD, will perform the procedure and Donald Stoner, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Halifax Health Medical Center, will moderate. Dr. Seide, who is with Cardiology Consultants in Daytona Beach, has implanted more than 350 defibrillators during the past three years.

life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, and the gosh darned automated external defibrillator is malfunctioning?
