Nasal Polyp Removal Surgery

Just like in human medicine, we do use defibrillators in veterinary emergencies — but far less often, because animals rarely present in shockable rhythms. In pets, the rhythms that may respond to an electric shock are:�🔹 Ventricular fibrillation (VF) – the heart is quivering instead of pumping�🔹 Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) – the heart is beating so fast it can’t circulate blood Most cardiac arrests in dogs and cats are actually non-shockable rhythms (like asystole or PEA), which is

ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm:Shockable vs. Non-Shockable Rhythm Pathway · Shockable: VF/VT. Treat with immediate defibrillation. · Torsades de Pointes is a polymorphic VT. Defibrillate if pulseless. Correct underlying causes (e.g., hypomagnesemia, long QT). · Non-Shockable: PEA/Asystole. Treat with CPR, Epinephrine, and reversible causes (Hs & Ts). Cycle: 2 min CPR → Rhythm Check → Act. #TorsadesDePointes #PolymorphicVT #CardiacArrest #ACLS #ECG #VF #VT #PEA #Asystole #Resuscitation #Cardiology
