A manually operated resuscitator used to ventilate a nonbreathing patient or assist the ventilation of a patient who is not breathing at an effective rate or tidal volume. The device consists of a bag, an oxygen reservoir system, a one-way flow valve, and a clear face mask. It is designed...
Atrial flutter : an irregular heart rhythm of the atria. It is classified as supraventricular tachycardia . Symptoms include palpitations . Complications include increased risk of stroke and heart failure . Key difference: Flutter is a regular rhythm whereas fibrillation is irregular. Paroxysmal supra...
The pacemaker may sense the atrial flutter waves resulting in a rapidly paced ventricular rate. A “runaway pacemaker”, a pacemaker that causes extreme increases in pacing rates due to malfunction, is very unlikely with current pacemaker technology. In both of these cases, placing a magnet over...
