Question

Can you differentiate the various dysrhythmias? for each disorder, drag and drop the statements that apply to the disorder to the box. ventricular fibrillation often asymptomatic loss of consciousness and death two successive pvc's defibrillation is needed bizarre ecg waves with no discernible p, qrs, or t waves

Answer 1

The right matches are:

Ventricular fibrillation ==> Loss of consciousness and death

Two successive PVC's ==> Often asymptomatic

Bizarre ECG waves ==> Defibrillation is needed .

Ventricular fibrillation is a violent and disordered contraction of muscle fibers, especially the heart muscle, in the ventricles. This systematically leads to loss of consciousness or death.

Defibrillation is a treatment by electrical shock of abnormal contractions of the heart fibers, in order to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Premature contraction of the heart alters the normal heart rhythm but is clinically undetectable or expressed as palpitations.
