  2. Vasopressin (medication) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin_(medication)

    Although both vasopressors, vasopressin and epinephrine differ in that vasopressin does not have direct effects on cardiac contractility as epinephrine does. [18] Thus, vasopressin is theorized to be of increased benefit over epinephrine in cardiac arrest due to its properties of not increasing myocardial and cerebral oxygen demands. [18]

  3. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

    Cardiac arrest (also known as sudden cardiac arrest [SCA] [11]) is when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. [ 12 ] [ 1 ] When the heart stops beating, blood cannot properly circulate around the body and the blood flow to the brain and other organs is decreased.

  4. Tricyclic antidepressant overdose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricyclic_antidepressant...

    Tricyclics have a narrow therapeutic index, i.e., the therapeutic dose is close to the toxic dose. [7] Factors that increase the risk of toxicity include advancing age, cardiac status, and concomitant use of other drugs. [8] However, serum drug levels are not useful for evaluating risk of arrhythmia or seizure in tricyclic overdose. [9]

  6. Clinical death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death

    With the advent of these strategies, cardiac arrest came to be called clinical death rather than simply death, to reflect the possibility of post-arrest resuscitation. At the onset of clinical death, consciousness is lost within several seconds, and in dogs, measurable brain activity has been measured to stop within 20 to 40 seconds. [2]

  7. Vasopressin receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasopressin_receptor

    The well known antidiuretic effect of vasopressin occurs via activation of V 2 R. [1] Vasopressin regulates water excretion from the kidney by increasing the osmotic water permeability of the renal collecting duct – an effect that is explained by coupling of the V 2 R with the G s signaling pathway, which activates cAMP.

  9. Cardioversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioversion

    (Defibrillation uses a therapeutic dose of electric current to the heart at a random moment in the cardiac cycle, and is the most effective resuscitation measure for cardiac arrest associated with ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. [1])
