A patient is presented with new-onset atrial fibrillation. While being air-evacuated, he cardioverted during the acceleration associated with aircraft carrier catapult launch. This case suggests a possible myocardial response to the kinetic energy produced by the acceleration force, similar to the electrical energy commonly used for cardioversion. Cardioversion using acceleration forces is probably not a clinically useful modality; however, this case demonstrates the importance of acceleration forces on patients during medical evacuation from aircraft carriers.
一名患者出现新发房颤。在进行空中转运时，他在与航母弹射起飞相关的加速过程中发生了心律转复。该病例提示，心肌可能对加速力产生的动能有反应，类似于常用于心律转复的电能。利用加速力进行心律转复可能并非一种具有临床实用价值的方式；然而，该病例证明了在从航母进行医疗后送期间加速力对患者的影响。
