  • Title: [Discharge energy and the problems of anesthesia in the electrical cardioversion of paroxysmal arrhythmias].
    Author: Gratsianskiĭ NA, Grudtsyn GV.
    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1978 Dec; 18(12):53-8. PubMed ID: 732082.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of electroimpulsive therapy with low energy discharges (up to 50 joules) in various paroxysmal arrhythmias was studied. A mild tranquilizer, seduxen (diazenam), was used as the anesthetic. Electroimpulsive therapy with low-energy discharges was found to produce a high effect in ventricular tachycardia and atrial flutter but a poor restorative effect in atrial fibrillation. The possibility of successful anesthesia with seduxen in electrical cardioversion of paroxysmal disorders of cardiac rhythm is concretized.
