- Total lack of organized ventricular depolarization causing cardiopulmonary arrest and death.
Causes
Cardiac or systemic pathology, Electrolyte disturbances, Electric Shock, Untreated ventricular tachycardia, Hypoxia etc.
ECG Appearance: Wavy baseline without any sign of an organized P, QRS, or T wave
Treatment
Small Animals
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: electrical defibrillation, open-chest cardiac massage, intratracheal lidocaine
Large Animals
- Rarely detected in large animals before death
- There is no treatment for large animals with this condition
