Line 16: Line 14:
Ventricular fibrillation (VF or V-fib) is chaotic depolarisation of the ventricles. Mechanically this results in an arrested cardiac pump function and immediate death. VF can only be treated by immediate [[defibrillation]]. If you consider ventricular fibrillation in a conscious patient, than you should look for a [[Technical Problems|technical problem]] with the ECG, eg. movement or electrical interference.
