Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asystole is a condition in which the heart has ceased to contract, so there is no cardiac output. This means the patient would be unconscious and not breathing (apnea), as there is no blood flow to the brain to sustain consciousness or respirations. There would be no palpitations or chest pains, as there is no heartbeat. The patient would not be alert and oriented in this state. Difficulty breathing and bradycardia are not applicable because in asystole there is no heart contraction.
