Define microshock and how defibrillator would be used to treat?
lMicroshock is a risk in patients with intracardiac conductors, such as external pacemaker electrodes or saline filled catheters, within the heart. A current as low as 10uAmps directly through the heart, may send a patient directly into Ventricular Fibrillation. For example a patient is holding onto his/her bed with left hand and reaches out with right hand and touches a device that has a broken wire inside of it and that wire is touching the inside case of said device. This would cause the person to receive a microshock and possibly send them into V-fib. A defibrillator can be used after a person receives a microshock and they go into V-fib. In V-fib the heart is not pumping blood to a person organs, the heart is fluttering instead of beating. The purpose of a defibrillator is to stop the heart, and hopefully if the heart is healthy enough it will start up into a life sustaining rythem. The following is what v-fib looks like on an ECG.
