The pulseless electrical activity means a cardiac arrest in which ECG displayed a cardiac rhythm which must make a pulse,however does not.The PEA is seen firstly in around 50-55 percentage of individuals in cardiac arrest.

The PEA is called as the electromechanical dissociation,happens in individuals with structured cardiac electrical activity with lacking perceptible pulse.

The primary rhythm can be a ventricular fibrillation ,pulseless ventricular tachycardia or the PEA and 75-85 percentage of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests had an primary non-shockable rhythm of pulseless electrical activity with an enhancing prevalence differentiated with primary shockable rhythms.

The rhythms are not susceptible to shock in the pulseless electrical activity.In such cases,recognizing initial causation,executing CPR and providing epinephrine are the available aid to bring back the patient.
