…Overdrive pacing in bradycardia dependent torsades de pointes. Standby pacing — pads applied but the device not switched on — in second degree AV block Mobitz type…

…stimulators, and other electronic equipment may also interfere with device function. The clinical consequences depend on the device, the patient's dependence on pacing, the…

…virtually all of the beta blocking activity. Sotalol does not block alpha adrenoceptors and lacks sodium channel blocking activity, meaning it exerts no membrane stabilizing…

…Glasgow Coma Scale is not on its own an absolute indication for intubation. Assess ventilation, airway protection, the expected course and the possibility of rapid…

…highly interdependent and rather complex. Indeed, myocardial mechanics constitute a whole research field. Cardiac function is also dependent on circulatory, pulmonary, renal and neurohormonal factors…

…agents act preferentially when fibrin is present, whereas streptokinase is not fibrin specific and produces more extensive fibrinogen depletion. Successful fibrinolysis is generally accompanied by…

…for the recovery of time dependent inward currents. This process creates early afterdepolarisations (EADs) that generate premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and increases transmural dispersion of…

…usually within 30 seconds. Doses higher than 18 mg are unlikely to revert a tachycardia and should not be used. Specific dosing adjustments are required…
