Complications associated with defibrillation include myocardial injury, which can occur due to the high energy delivered during the shock. There is also a risk of arrhythmias being induced, including ventricular fibrillation or asystole, particularly if the defibrillation is not appropriately timed. Additionally, skin burns or damage to the chest wall may occur at the site of electrode placement. In rare cases, there may be complications related to underlying conditions, such as fractures or dislocation in patients with pre-existing skeletal issues.
