Cardioversion - Not for the faint of heart. #health #hospital #health care

30 years old male patient smoker with unremarkable PMH came to ER with chest pain. There are 2 ECGs before & after spontaneous cardioversion 👇👇👇………….. what are your thoughts???

On Friday 26th April 2024. COMHS’s simulation and clinical skills lab conducted a Defibrillation and Cardioversion course with attendees from health institutions and medical students. The session focused on hands-on learning of life-saving techniques, stressing quick intervention

Antazoline is most widely known for its use as an eye drop for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Recently, it has emerged as a cheap repurposed anti-arrhythmic drug for the pharmacological cardioversion of AF.

Vince is in AFib. Gabriella can do a cardioversion and put him on an anticoagulant and he’ll be okay #FireCountry

🚨 New breakthrough in #medicine !

🔬 ITMO experts confirm that electrical cardioversion can help reset an abnormal heart rhythm safely even at smaller clinics. Their work was published in BMC Series Cardiovascular Disorders.

Dr. Lynn Fynn-derella🐭 I went in for gallbladder surgery and was found to have Afib during preop and had to cancel surgery. Put me on blood thinners and preformed Cardioversion to get me out of Afib. No seems to know the reason for the Afib. Hmmm...

lankalad I presume if you're on thinners then the stroke risk is averted. I'm on xarelto, so no blood testing reqd. When I first had AF I wore a halter monitor for 3 days to see how often AF. Had cardioversion (the paddles) to fix AF but it only held for 2 wks. Hope that helps else DM me.

Dr says my TSH is finally within range to have successful cardioversion! Finally, these heart issues will be coming to an end!

6 hours ago, I observed and assisted Electric cardioversion. I just finished performing my second electric cardioversion.

I've had SVT episodes over 250bpm for hours, but I've never gotten adenosine. People who've had it say it's a soul-leaving-the-body experience, but I wasn't aware of this potential side effect.

Hoy hice mi primera cardioversión en un neonato y me siento orgullosa de mi equipo y de mí. 🥹❤️‍🔥

So the cardioversion I had today for A Fib went great. I'm home recuperating.

𝙟𝙤𝙨𝙝 𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙨 (he/him) 💊 Definitely agree that amnestic effects of midazolam are generally sufficient for cardioversion. Never made a lot of sense to give an opioid as well given the risks.

That said I like 0.15mg/kg etomidate; more reliably accomplishes the desired effect and wears off very quickly.
