what will they do after the paitent's ECG is aystole?

Question

asystole means dead. what whould they do after that?

Answer 1

Yes, if someone was being monitored with ECG- and it became asystole it is life threatening. As it means that the heart is absent of electrical and mechanical activity. Some one in asystolic cardiac rhythm is flat lining, and is in Cardiac arrest. They would need to begin, Life saving techniques, compressions as compressions help the heart to contract, and securing airways,as well as using a defibulator to try to regain normal rythm to the heart. They could place a pacemaker within the chestwall, to send electrical signals to the hard to trigger it to contract. (get the heart beating again) if the patient is stable enough to undergo surgery for such a procedure.

Good luck to you and Wish you the best. I hope this has helped you.

Answer 2

Asystole is Greek for "without contraction". When someone is in asystole, their heart isn't beating, and this is what is often called "flat-lining", since the ECG tracing is flat. This is clinical death, but with appropriate action, can be reversed. This is different from biological death, in which there is no recovery.

If someone goes into asystole, emergency resuscitation is begun. This generally includes CPR (chest compressions), intubation, administration of drugs (such as atropine, epinephrine, etc), and transcutaneous pacing. Defibrillation is not used, since defibrillation is only to convert out of a fibrillatory pattern, notably atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation. Transcutaneous pacing is done when pads are placed over the chest and send out an electrical signal that tells the heart to beat. Later, when the patient is well enough to go into surgery and it is deemed necessary, a small pacer may be implanted into the heart, and will fire if the patient's heart isn't generating its own signals.

Answer 3

It depends if it was observed 'arrest' or not. If a patient was found in asystole-like 'down at home-unknown time' they might not do anything. Cause unless you are right there, and it was observed, asystole is a rhythm that doesn't respond to treatment.
In a hospital setting, where it might have been observed, life saving treatment may be tried as mentioned before.
