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.
1 One of the most common and familiar composite is fiberglass, in which small glass fiber are embedded within a polymeric material (normally an epoxy or polyester). 2  The glass fiber is relatively strong and stiff (but also brittle), whereas the polymer is ductile (but also weak and flexible).
