Ventricular Fibrillation (VFib)

This video discusses the origin of ventricular fibrillation (VFib), its characteristics, causes, signs & symptoms as well as interventions.
Please refer to the “Ventricular Dysrhythmias” Playlist for more videos about premature ventricular contractions/complexes (PVCs), ventricular tachycardia (VTach), asystole aka cardiac standstill, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA).

Ventricular Fibrillation RULES:
(** indicates deviation from normal**)
1. Rate:
** Cannot be determined
2. Rhythm:
** Rapid and chaotic, no pattern or regularity
3. P-wave:
** Not discernible
4. Intervals:
** PRI: Not discernible
** QRS: Not discernible

For more videos about this important topic please refer to the other EKG Interpretation playlists of my channel Nursing School Explained. The videos in this playlist are intended to be watched in succession for best results: Basic Electrophysiology, EKG Interpretation - The Basics: EKG paper and Determination of Heart Rate, EKG Interpretation - The Basics - Normal Intervals and RULE to Memorize, Sinus rhythms, Atrial rhythms, AV blocks, and Ventricular rhythms.
