One of the most important considerations in the acute management of atrial fibrillation is the need for anticoagulation (see the image below). Acute cardioversion for AF carries a risk of thromboembolism unless anticoagulation therapy is initiated prior to the procedure and continued post procedure.
The glass fibers are made of various types of glass depending upon the fiberglass use. These glasses all contain silica or silicate, with varying amounts of oxides of calcium, magnesium, and sometimes boron.
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed from wood fibers obtained from breaking down hardwood and softwood with a defibrator. The wood fibers are then glued together using wax and resin adhesive. They are made into panels by applying high temperature and pressure. The resulting smooth wood product has no wood grain and shares many characteristics with particle board. However, MDF is slightly stronger particle board.
