What would happen if you are awake and paddles are used to shock the heart?

Paddles (on a defibrillator) will only shock you if the electrical current running through your heart is a VF or VT. If you are flat lined or have a normal rhythm, it will not work.

What happens to heart you get an electric stock?
when you get an electric shock your muscles go into spasm and your heart goes faster in shock, when you get electricuted your heart stops
How is cardioversion administered?
general anesthetic will be given through the IV to put the patient to sleep. During the five or 10 minutes of anesthesia, an electric shock is delivered through paddles or patches
Can certain allergies cause an increase in heart rate?
Sever allergies can cause the body to go into shock and one of the signs of shock is a fast heart rate (tahcycardia).
During the hemorrhage what happens to the heart rate?
The heart rate will increase due to hypovolaemic shock!
What type of shock is caused by inadequate function of the heart?
cardiogenic
What is accomplished by externally placing paddles on the chest or internally by opening the chest and exposing the heart to the view of the surgeon with paddles being directly on the heart?
Paddles are used to deliver mild electric shocks, which can stimulate a heart into beating again after it has stopped 2nd Answer: Well . . . When a patient has a type of heart attack in which the heart is just quivering (fibrillating), the heart is shocked either directly with the defibrillator paddles on the heart if the chest is open, or on the bare skin of the chest if not. Keep in mind that the fibrillating heart is pumping little or no blood to the patient's body. The shock STOPS the heart. Doctors have found over the years that a heart stopped in this manner will quite often"reset" and start beating a normal LUB-dub beat the way it should. Sometimes the first shock does not stop the heart, and a second (or more) shocks are given at higher power. But the point is still to STOP the heart! If you watch TV doctors, you may see them 'shocking' a patient through clothing, or see them place the paddles on top of the chest on top of each nipple, or shock, and shock, and shock, and shock . . . like they are trying to stimulate the heart to start beating. ALL of these are not how it's done in real life! (Answerer is trained and certified in the use of an automatic defibrillator.)
What are the two approaches used to insert devices that electrically shock the heart into regular rhythm?
Aed paddles, manual chest compressions
If you have a heart attack and pronounced dead for a un-certain amount of time before being brougth back by shock paddles are you pronounced a zombie?
no.
What is the doctor's role in an elective cardioversion?
The doctor will apply two paddles to the exterior of the chest and administer the electric shock. It may be necessary to give the shock two or three times to obtain normal rhythm.
What happens to heart you get an electric stock?
when you get an electric shock your muscles go into spasm and your heart goes faster in shock, when you get electricuted your heart stops
What are the uses of AED?
AED is an acronym that stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is used to stop the heart's motion via electric shock, effectively hitting the hearts "reset" button. The heart then, hopefully restarts with normal activity. An AED cannot be used when a heart is in asystole, a state of no electrical activity. Also, an AED cannot be used in a moving vehical as that affects the analysis.
When did Creature Shock happen?

When did Shock Troopers happen?

What part of the heart fails to work during cardiac shock?
Cardiac muscle or heart muscle is the part of the heart that fails to work during cardiac shock.
Which part of the heart fails to work effectivly during cardiogenic shock?

Which type of the shock is results from any type of heart failure?
septic shock
