When defibrillating a patient in ventricular fibrillation (VF), you should use a biphasic defibrillator set to deliver a dose of 120-200 joules, depending on the specific device and manufacturer's recommendations. If a monophasic defibrillator is used, the shock should be set to 360 joules. Ensure proper electrode placement and confirm that no one is in contact with the patient before delivering the shock. Always follow the latest advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) guidelines during the procedure.

What happens in hospital when someone arrests?
A cardiac arrest team will be called in, and the staff will start CPR immediately, they will use a BVM and Defib (if necessary) to attempt to resus the patient the cardiac arrest team will then move in and perform ALS on the patient. Usually the patient will go into respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest, their heart rhythm will normally go from normal synas rhythm into VF (Ventiricualr Fibrillation) where a shock will be nececerry to stop the heart, and shock it back into normal rhythem. If the patient receives early CPR and early Defib they have a fairly good chance of surviving if they go into VF. Hope this helps.
Is digoxin used in the management of a patient in VF cardiac arrest?
No, digoxin is not used in the management of ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. The primary treatments for VF include high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. Digoxin, which is a cardiac glycoside, is primarily used for conditions like atrial fibrillation and heart failure, but it is not effective in the acute setting of VF.
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.
