somebody may want to paraphrase this snippet relating to CPR and asysole
Hi, I rewrote the first section to bring it in to line with current 2010/2011 ACLS teaching i.e. atropine out, defib 'just in case' out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.7.126 ( talk) 07:56, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
The flatline article is currently a trivial stub that mostly discusses asystole, though it briefly mentions EEG flatlines as well. So there essentially two real topics here: EKG flatlines (asystole) and EEG flatlines. To the extent that it makes sense for this article attempts to provide linkage to the articles on each of these it should be a disambig (and indeed there already is a disambig Flatline (disambiguation)). To the extent that this article wants to be about the word flatline, that is a violation of WP:NAD (which is essentially the case now). So this article should either just redirect to asystole or else just redirect to Flatline (disambiguation). I suggest the former since that is what most people mean when they say "flatline". But I am OK with either, frankly.

Considering the term is used so often on TV, article seems to need a lot more explanation, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.192.29 ( talk) 20:20, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
This appears to be a mislabeled image -- it is correctly called VF in the text just below, but the image itself contains the term "coarse asystole", which is more of a humorously used term for fine ventricular fibrillation. Though it is nice to have the unshockable and shockable rhythms side by side, I worry that calling the VF image "asystole" in any way is more confusing than helpful. I think it's most appropriate to remove it unless the file is edited.

Asystole can also be induced by a strong vagal response, where bradycardia eventually transitions into asystole. This could be treated with atropine and adrenaline. 84.58.249.189 ( talk) 07:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
