ECG - Ventricular fibrillation
A cause of cardiac arrest. Start CPR / Defibrillate
ECG
- Rate/QRS complex: unable to determine; no recognizable P, QRS, or T waves
- Rhythm: indeterminate; pattern of sharp up (peak) and down (trough) deflections
- Amplitude: measured from peak-to-trough; often used subjectively to describe VF as fine (peak-to trough 2 to <5 mm), medium-moderate (5 to <10 mm), coarse (10 to <15 mm), very coarse (>15 mm
