Abstract A 35-year-old woman was admitted for recurrent syncope. At admission multiples episodes of non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia were recorded. After exclusion of all possible aetiologies a carefully electrocardiogram analysis reveals the key for the diagnosis.

Acute Care Facilities

Portable monitors with the capability of defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and transcutaneous pacing are frequently used by the rapid response teams (RRTs) in several acute care facilities to provide quick information and to treat lethal arrhythmias in critically ill and unstable patients. Portable monitors are used on lethal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF), monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also known as Torsades de pointes (TdP). Properly identifying lethal arrhythmias and knowing how to use the portable monitor/defibrillator is essential to positive patient outcomes. In this chapter, we review the use of portable monitors for monitoring and detection of cardiac arrhythmias as well as outline the procedure for defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and transcutaneous pacing in the setting of RRT activation.
