Unveiling The Voltage Behind Defibrillators: A Guide To Electrical Discharge In Cardiac Arrest Treatment
Voltage in defibrillators plays a crucial role in delivering a high-energy shock to restore cardiac rhythm. The range of voltage used typically varies from 500 to 1000 volts, with the optimal voltage depending on factors such as patient size, arrhythmia type, and electrode placement. Higher voltages increase the defibrillation energy, which can improve the success…
