Odd asystole / self defibrillation phenomenon

[GoniOTR]

Wellens T-wave ? Strange

[alin0steglinski0]

@GoniOTR wtf?

[GoniOTR]

@alin0steglinski0 Your T-wave looks strange , its something like wellens syndrome , Biphasic T-wave , but im not sure you have any 12-leag ECG ?

[alin0steglinski0]

@GoniOTR my 12 leads look normal. this is a 3 lead with a lot of interference and PVCs.

[mayhempk1backup1]

How can he talk with a trache?

[tingmarco1]

its a unkdown medincal simulaton where it drops to zero and to normal ryhthm again and the cycle repeats its again eh?

[alin0steglinski0]

@tingmarco1 uh... yeah.

[DeathBride999]

When I write sinus mucle I meeen SA node. :D

[alin0steglinski0]

@DeathBride999 i figured

[alin0steglinski0]

No one really knows exactly what this is. my doctor does not even know if it is just interference or if it was truly a short stop in my heartbeat

[DeathBride999]

I remember I once use to hear a theory. The hart is sometimes able to start again, because the sinus mucle is so specialisred in the intercept of electronic inpulses, that sometimes there is no need for an assisted defriblation under asystole. I don't know if that is true but juding from what I just sow is looks like it.

[ventilator98]

I just love this awesome AWSOME video

[zablackw]

Cleaver troll... You can't shock asystole. Well... You could but it wouldn't do any good lol. Artifact and lead displacement ;)

[jjovereats]

You might have had a dislodged lead.

[alin0steglinski0]

@jjovereats i dont have a pacemaker

[jjovereats]

@alin0steglinski0 I was talking about the electrocardiograph! (DE: Elektrokardiogramm)

[jjovereats]

Your heart is pretty electrically unstable.

[alin0steglinski0]

@jjovereats your telling me!

You need to meet Brady. He's slow. He hates his music faster than 60 beats/min.

[alin0steglinski0]

@jjovereats lol

[jjovereats]

@alin0steglinski0 That was a reference to your heart rate.

[jjovereats]

At the end lol.

[alin0steglinski0]

@jjovereats cheat code to life lol

Asystole is not even defibrillable (that is, shockable), so there is no way you could have your heart defibrillate itself from that. As its name suggests, defib is only to get you out of V-Fib, where the heart just quivers.

[alin0steglinski0]

@1RadicalOne i know. this video is moreso just a funny humor / satiracle thing. VF electrical activity without any pulse

[alin0steglinski0]

@alin0steglinski0 wait correction. VF is the heart muscle faintly moving. PEA is pulseless electrical activity

[astupidjak]

@1RadicalOne V-Fib is not the only shockable rhythm. V-Tach (without a pulse) is also shockable and the same J as V-Fib.

[1RadicalOne]

True, yes, though my original point - the futility of trying to defibrillate an asystole - remains unchanged.

PS

I am not in any way a medical professional, but I would not recommend defibrillation for a tachycardia, unless it was very likely to proceed into fibrillation or worse. Other methods are likely to work as well.

[astupidjak]

@1RadicalOne I hope you understand the vast difference between V-tach and tachycardia.

PS I am a medical professional.

[1RadicalOne]

No, I was under the impression - one created by the linguistic similarity - that they were synonymous or at least close.

Enlighten me.

That was not meant to sound sarcastic.

[astupidjak]

@1RadicalOne when i say v-tach (without a pulse) i dont mean tachycardia. tachycardia is just a really fast heart rate and can be treated with drugs such as adenosine to bring the heart rate down. v-tach on the other hand is when the electrical impulses of the heart are way out of wack and the ventricals are beating extremely fast and the rest of the heart is not. this rhythm is shockable due to the electrical abnormality, in the same way that v-fib is shockable. its an electrical problem.

[1RadicalOne]

Oh, I see.

So it IS tachychardia, but a subclass restricted to the ventricles, as the V implies (I should have seen that, with V-Fib being ventricular fibrillation). OK, that makes sense, and it makes sense as to why "normal" methods would be ineffective.

[astupidjak]

@1RadicalOne exactly

[parodyvidztv]

oh lolz!

[parodyvidztv]

looks to me like a movement artifact

[alin0steglinski0]

@parodyvidztv i later after posting this learned it was but still fun to freak people out with ;)

[parodyvidztv]

@alin0steglinski0

oh lolz! :P

[alin0steglinski0]

@parodyvidztv hehehe :D the great thing of humor.

[elliotwilliams02131]

that is as said before, simply artifact. if you create enough motion the ECG will detect it and cause box like artifact (what you showed) and to defibrillate you need to be fibrillating first so-to-speak. you can't "defibrillate" asystole. if you are asystole you have no electrical activity. and a shock being syncronisded on a monitor looks nothing like that. but nice try.

[alin0steglinski0]

@elliotwilliams02131 heh heh ellio, yep i found that out AFTER i posted the video but decided i would keep it up for humor value.

[virtualetude]

its just an artifact

[alin0steglinski0]

@virtualetude oh well had fun making it :P

[stabbem360]

i hpe you do not have anymore of them but if ou do have a pacemaker i really hope you get better and i realy think you are a strong man for what is happenin to you

[stabbem360]

you are a lucky man then i had to resuscitate my friend one time because of a problem with his heart and he has survived it and because of seeing how it affected me he had the oporation and is now walkin arround without having to go into cardiac arrest at alll

[alin0steglinski0]

i am probably going to get a pacemaker

[stabbem360]

how come you went into cardiac arrest did you heart just stop and how did you come back to life was you defibbrilated or was some one resuscitating you

[alin0steglinski0]

i actually found out formally that its probably a series of missed beats.

[apex2000]

opps i missed a triangle and my next door house blew up instead,

[alin0steglinski0]

oh thats a new cheat code to life the "blow next door up" cheat.

[WolfDOuka]

You're an amazing guy Alin! You're like an Energizer Bunny!

[alin0steglinski0]

thanks
