There is a high incidence of dysrhytmias in the operating room and I.C.U. Calling again diagnosis criteria using common leads of the E.E.G. leads to suggest a treatment approach taking the main effect of non cardiac factors in account, before the use of antiarrhythmic drugs. The Puech classification takes many data into consideration: electrophysiological properties, cardiac disease and trigger mechanism of dysrythmias. So, it is a better practice in a dysrythmia therapy to examine all these characteristics in order to choose an adjusted treatment.
