vital signs are monitored.Additional tests to measure cardiac damage will be performed.Treatment options will be determined from the outcome of these procedures. The patient's skin is cleansed to remove gel.if necessary, electrical burns are treated
Automated External Defibrillator
Defibrillation is a medical term.
The patient will receive instruction on caring for a stoma and bag. A period of fasting and an enema may be required.
CPR will not re-start the heart. An AED is needed; and if it isn't V-Fib or V-Tach drugs and defibrillation is required.

The patient removes any clothing and jewelry above the chest.
delivered current during defibrillation is expected to increase with which of the following?
Allow for a more rapid defibrillation
American Red Cross early defibrillation can increase the chance of survival from cardiac arrest.
Defibrillation is performed to correct life-threatening arrhythmias of the heart including ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest.in non-life threatening situations, atrial defibrillation can be used to treat atrial fibrillation or flutter.
No, what defibrillation does is 'reorganize' chaotic electrical activity known as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless V-Tach.
Defibrillation should not be performed on a patient who has a pulse or is alert, as this could cause a lethal heart rhythm disturbance or cardiac arrest.
