What converts cardiac arrhythmia into normal sinus rhythm?
defibrillators
Externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
A defibrillator device can accomlish this.
What is designed for the use of non professionals externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
defibrillator
What is the medical term for cardiac arrhythmia?
Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythm, as measured with an ECG. A "normal" rhythms is called a "Sinus Rhythm", as it originates in the Sinoatrial node of the heart. Any rhythm that originates elsewhere, or deviates from what is considered "normal" is an arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmia. On a cardiac monitor, if we see beats that are abnormal, we call the ectopy, or ectopic beats. But as far as a "term for arrhythmia"... that's the term: Arrhythmia.
What is designed for use by nonprofessionals and externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
For what reasons is an emergency thoracotomy performed?
to control injury-related bleeding from the heart, cardiac compressions to restore a normal heart rhythm, or to relieve pressure on the heart caused by cardiac tamponade
Which is designed for use by nonprofessionals that externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It's called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
What determines normal cardiac rhythm?
My guess is it's what the majority of healthy people heart's sound like, and through that, they determine if a heartbeat rythm is abnormal or not.
Diagnosed with a complete third-degree AV heart block to restore normal rhythm the cardiothoracic surgeon schedules for insertion of what?
Pacemaker The heart's natural pacemaker is the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node sends an electrical impulse through both atria, pausing at the atrioventricular (AV) node, which is a small mass of cardiac muscle. To restore normal rhythm in the case of a block, an artificial cardiac pacemaker can be implanted in the chest.
Can you describe the circuit diagram for a cardiac pacemaker?
very similar to the flash lamp in a disposable camera with a microprocessor to monitor variance from normal rhythm and push the button
What is the most common rhythm following cardiac arrest?
ventricular fibrillation
A twitching of the cardiac muscle that is not in a sustained rhythm is called a?
murmer or fibrillation
