Fibrillation
• Cardiac arrest occurs in more than 500,000
people annually in the United States
• Atrial fibrillation (AF) is relatively common
and can be well tolerated by the patient

Ventricular Fibrillation
• Ventricular fibrillation (VF) causes the
heart to stop pumping blood immediately
• Irreversible brain damage or death after 5
minutes
• Most common cause of death
Clinical Use
• Reverse fibrillation of the heart (300 J to 360 J)
[Drawing of defibrillator pads placement] retrieved from www.wikipedia.com
• Restoring the heart’s normally coordinated
contractions (below 200 J) – Requires ECG
History
• 1899
– Physiologists Prevost and Batelli
from University of Geneva used
small electric shocks to induce
ventricular fibrillation in dogs, and
larger charges to reverse the
condition
History
• 1947
–First use on a human by
Claude Beck, professor of
surgery at Case Western
Reserve University
Specifications
• Input
– Electrical: ECG
signal
• Output
– Electrical: 3000 V
pulse during 10 ms
– Electronically

Principles of Operation
• Electric current is
placed through
electrodes:
– Directly on the heart low current – 300 V
AC.
– Transthoracically –
large area electrodes,
higher current – 1000
V AC

Types of Defibrillators
• Manual defibrillator (most
common in developing world)
• Automated external
defibrillators
AED (Home defibrillator)
WHO. “Defibrillator, External,
Automated; Semiautomated.” From the
publication: Core Medical Equipment.
Geneva, Switzerland, 2011.
• Implantable defibrillator

Output Pulses
• Edmark Waveform
– Maximum Pulse 7,500 V
– Common in the poor world
– Severe damage (death)
– Be clear of the patient during the discharge

Manual Defibrillators
ECG
• ECG leads can also
be connected from the
device to the patient
• However, most can
monitor the ECG
through the
defibrillation paddles
as well.

Paddles
• Excellent contact with the body is essential
– Gel required
– Serious burns can occur if proper contact is
not maintained during discharge
• Sufficient insulation is required
– Prevents discharge into the physician
Paddles Types
• Internal: direct cardiac stimulation
• External: transthoracic stimulation
– Adult
– Pediatric
• Disposable: used externally
Paddles Types
• Disposable
• Internal
• External

Safety
• Avoid conducting mattress (spring),
bedstead or metal table
• Wear surgeon’s rubber gloves with highvoltage insulation
• CAUTION: high current and voltage
associated with the circuitry.
• Use GEL

Preventive Maintenance
• Replaced battery every 24 months
• Defibrillators offer a selftest option which
should be done at least once a month
Common Problems
• Old Batteries
• Paddles and cables contact
• The gel build up on the paddles and have to be
cleaned with alcohol
Test Procedures
• Paddles should be inspected for pit marks
• They could leave burns on the chest
Test Procedures
• Defribillator Selftest
• Use a fresh meat (normally pig)
NEVER TEST THE PADDLES
AGAINST EACH OTHER!
