Before EMS arrived, she had "seizure activity" and became unresponsive. She arrived comatose and in cardiogenic shock and the following ECG was recorded. She underwent therapeutic hypothermia, and emerged from coma. She was defibrillated successfully from ventricular fibrillation and developed a perfusing rhythm.
