There is a subset of patients who suffer a witnessed ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrest and despite receiving reasonable care with medications (epinephrine and amiodarone) and multiple defibrillations (3+ attempts at 200 joules of biphasic current) remain in refractory VF (RVF), also known as electrical storm. The mortality for these patients is as high as 97%. We present the case of a patient who, with a novel approach, survived RVF to outpatient follow up.
有一部分患者发生了目击的心室颤动(VF)骤停,尽管接受了合理的药物治疗(肾上腺素和胺碘酮)以及多次除颤(200焦耳双相电流进行3次以上尝试),仍处于难治性室颤(RVF)状态,也称为电风暴。这些患者的死亡率高达97%。我们介绍了一例患者,通过一种新颖的方法,从难治性室颤中存活下来并接受门诊随访。
