From: Inducibility of ventricular fibrillation during mild therapeutic hypothermia: electrophysiological study in a swine model

Figure 2

Diagram of study protocol (A) and electrophysiological study (B). GA indicates induction of general anesthesia; ECMO, initiation of ECMO; EP study, electrophysiological study; HT, hypothermia (core temperature of 32°C); 8 × S1, train of eight basic stimuli; S2-5, up to five extrastimuli; ERP, effective refractory period; ARP, absolute refractory period; VF, ventricular fibrillation; defib, defibrillation; steady, steady state; ECMO high, increasing of the ECMO flow to 80-100 mL/kg/min after onset of VF until the sinus rhythm was restored.
