Ventricular fibrillation: ECG quiz video

Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.

A 25-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.

Hint

What rhythm is this? Look at the numbers as well as the trace.

Answer

Ventricular fibrillation. Chaotic waves and no QRS complexes. The monitor cannot count a rate and there is no pressure. Start CPR and defibrillate.
