procaine and Ventricular Fibrillation

procaine has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 35 studies

Procaine: A local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1016).
procaine : A benzoate ester, formally the result of esterification of 4-aminobenzoic acid with 2-diethylaminoethanol but formed experimentally by reaction of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2-diethylaminoethanol.

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.

"Procaine hydrochloride was added to cardioplegia and studied for its efficacy in stabilizing the postischemic rhythm after aortic declamping in cardiac surgery."6.68Procaine is effective for minimizing postischemic ventricular fibrillation in cardiac surgery. ( Berg, EM; Levang, OW; Sellevold, OF, 1995)
" Acute pretreatment with bretylium, 20 mg/kg intravenously, significantly increased the amount of infused ouabain required before the appearance of the first signs of atrial arrhythmia in anaesthetized guinea-pigs, but did not prevent ventricular arrhythmias."3.65The effect of bretylium on intracellular cardiac action potentials in relation to its anti-arrhythmic and local anaesthetic activity.
