Why should you make sure no one is touching the patient before shocking?
Before delivering a shock during a cardiac emergency, it's crucial to ensure that no one is touching the patient to prevent unintended injury. If someone is in contact with the patient, the shock could pass through that person, potentially causing severe harm or injury. Additionally, ensuring that no one is touching the patient allows for the most effective delivery of the shock directly to the heart, increasing the chances of successful defibrillation. Safety for both the patient and bystanders is paramount in these critical situations.
