Asystole Asystolie

Creator:
Language pair:English to French
Definition / notes:This is diagnosed when no ventricular escape complexes are present. This is an agonal rhythm that is not consistent with life. To confirm the diagnosis, you should check another EKG lead, because fine (low amplitude) ventricular fibrillation can appear as a flat line in one lead, but should be treated with immediate countershock. If you see these rhythms, you should initiate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation immediately
