Q=What is ventricular fibrillation?
A=V-Fib is a lethal rhythm which requires immediate intervention. Above is a sample of V-Fib. There are no heart contractions and the ventricles are considered to be "quivering." V-Fib is commonly seen in cardiac arrest.

@jiwhit01 A quivering heart is about as good as a stopped heart. You absolutely DO perform CPR for this, in between shocks and rounds of epi.
-
yeah, in vfib there is no pr or st. its totally chaotic.
-
You don't usually perform cpr for fib, you usually perform cpr for a stopped heart. However you are right, it's interesting there isn't any sign of defib

its a cardiac moniyor stimulator genius
Holyshit! Correct me if I'm wrong, but PR and ST segments seem totally absent here O.O

Yes. In ventricular fibrillation, no waveform is discernible. It's rapid and bizarre activity which does not result in any physical contraction of the ventricles.
Do you know that VF is one of the 4 arrhythmias that constitute cardiac arrest?
