As a medical professional with expertise in emergency medicine, I can provide you with an accurate answer to your question.
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is a life-threatening medical emergency that is characterized by rapid, erratic electrical activity in the ventricles of the heart. This condition prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively, leading to pulselessness. When a person is in ventricular fibrillation, they are typically unresponsive and not breathing normally. Immediate medical intervention, such as defibrillation, is necessary to restore a normal heart rhythm and increase the chances of survival.

Treatment of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is included in the Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. VF and pulseless VT are shockable rhythms and treated in similar fashion. Asystole and PEA are also included in the cardiac arrest algorithm but are nonshockable rhythms.
