Pulseless electrical activity
Pulseless Electrical Activity is a phenomenon where the heart still conducts the electrical impulses required to stimulate the heart, but the heart does not respond. This may simulate any rhythm. Defibrillators are not used for this rhythm, as the problem lies in some problem with the mechanical response of the myocardial tissue. A newer more common term for this phenomenon is electromechanical dissociation.
