Fibrilação ventricular durante atividade esportiva tratada com sucesso

Abstract: Survival after out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest is estimated at less than 5%. We report a case of ventricular fibrillation during sports activity. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated early by a layperson, and defibrillation was successfully performed within less than three minutes, with an automated external defibrillator. The public access to defibrillation programs has increased the survival after outof-hospital ventricular fibrillation. We should encourage the training of laypeople in relation… Show more

“…The implementation of strategies for the prevention and treatment of sudden CA and death, includes team and individual strategies for the management of athletes, associated with public health campaigns, such as universal (health professional and lay people) training in CPR, and the availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public settings [23]. Despite their importance in the treatment of CA, the number of AEDs in sport facilities is still inadequate to cover the needs of the increased number of athletes [65,66]. In this context, “The Survival Chain” advocated by AHA and BLS techniques may contribute to decrease mortality from heart disease and sudden CA, which may precipitate sudden death events that could be triggered by physical activity and sport.…”

“…Essas mortes súbitas, devido a ataques cardíacos, possuem altas taxas também nos EUA que, estima-se anualmente, por volta de 250 mil mortes de pessoas que não ocorrem em hospitais. (2) A cardiopatia isquêmica se sobressai entre as doenças, sendo considerada como causa significativa de mortes atuais. (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) Foi observado que, em 85% dos casos de atendimento extra-hospitalar, que resultaram em morte súbita, a Fibrilação Ventricular (FV) e a Taquicardia Ventricular (TV) sem pulso foram os ritmos cardíacos detectados.…”

“…Dessa forma, a desfibrilação cardíaca é a maneira mais efetiva para aumentar a expectativa de sobrevivência. (2)(3)(4)6,9,10) A primeira técnica de desfibrilação com êxito ocorreu em 1933, em animais. Em 1947, foi aplicada uma corrente elétrica diretamente no coração humano, usando corrente alternada.…”
