You’re the expert. But I was taught in medical school, residency, ACLS and other critical care courses that fibrillation is rhythm - not an effective one if it is v fib - people can be do live normally for years in a fib. The lack of a rhythm is asystole. You are confusing rhythm which is electrical with circulation which is mechanical. In fact there is a rhythm called PEA that has an absolutely normal
looking sinus rhythm but is associated with no circulation (pulse). I have treated all there rhythms many times and run multiple codes. But you are the expert so please enlighten. me
Have you been there on the field where the string athlete’s heart seizes up and knocks him the hell out?
...strong athlete’s heart...
So, how fast is the collapse from the heart stopping/fibrillating? Normally, I’d think the collapse is the first sign of trouble, but here we have an impact to time off of.
