cardiac arrest.
1. CARDIO-VASCULAR COLLAPSE – the heart is still beating its
action is so weak that blood circulated through the vascular
system to the brain tissue.
2. VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION – occurs when the individual
fascicles of the heart beats independently rather than
coordinated. synchronized manner that produce rhythmic beat.
3. CARDIAC STANDSTILL – it means that heart has stopped
beating.
