isoflurane and Ventricular Fibrillation

isoflurane has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 16 studies

Isoflurane: A stable, non-explosive inhalation anesthetic, relatively free from significant side effects.

Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.
