Abstract Diazepam has been used to an increasing extent in cardioversion, since avoiding general anaesthesia simplifies the procedure. The present study concerns the effect of diazepam on BP and blood gases in 13 cases of cardioversion. A moderate fall of both systolic and diastolic BP occurred. The arterial pO2 and pCO2 did not change significantly.

Cardioversion and defibrillation
American Heart Journal, 1980The use of electrical energy for the immediate treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias is practical and easily applied. The method, though simple, is the most effective method for terminating cardiac arrhythmias and is associated with only a low risk if properly employed. In symptomatic patients, the utilization of cardioversion reduces patient

Abstract A method of anesthesia, essentially amnesia, for patients undergoing cardioversion has been presented. A review of the administration of anesthesia in 150 cases has indicated the safety of the method and the absence of complications in this group of patients presenting with cardiac arrhythmias.

With the use of a novel quadripolar esophageal electrode system, we have attempted 131 transesophageal cardioversions in 105 patients: 109 episodes were atrial fibrillation, 16 episodes were atrial flutter, 2 episodes were supraventricular tachycardia, and 4 episodes were ventricular tachycardia.

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1999
Elective electrical cardioversions are commonly scheduled to be performed in the PACU because of the availability of nursing and anesthesia support. This report examines preanesthetic patient preparation as well as a review of the procedural aspects of electrical cardioversion.

Cardioversion and Defibrillation [PDF]
, 1986 Although the application of electrical energy to the heart had been investigated in the 18th century, it was not until the first half of the 20th century that reference was made to the clinical use of electrical shocks to revert abnormal cardiac rhythms.

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2005Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, affecting an estimated 2.2 million Americans and present in 8% to 10% of those older than 80 years old. 1 As the US population ages, the incidence and prevalence of AF is expected to increase. Although the Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up of Rhythm Management

Cardioversions and Transthoracic Echocardiography
Anesthesiology Clinics, 2017Patients with atrial fibrillation and flutter routinely require transesophageal echocardiography with cardioversion. It is not uncommon to encounter patients with reduced ejection fractions, coronary artery disease, prior cardiac surgery, or obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract The relation between digitalis-induced sensitivity to electric shock and acute changes in serum potassium was studied in 34 dogs. The median threshold to electric shock 30 minutes after recovery from digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia was 1 w.sec. in control dogs and 200 w.sec. in dogs receiving potassium.
