Dispatched for ICD firing. Patient was aoax4 upon arrival and was getting continually shocked. Initial 12 lead and post #Amiodarone 12 lead shown. Follow up data from ICD stated 78 shocks during treatment.


Similar cases

Adult male, recurrent episodes of VFib arrest, this 12 lead was captured in-between one of 7 shocks.

SubQ ICD induction test. ICD successfully converted rhythm with a 65 joule shock.

57 y/o M admitted to telemetry unit. Went into this rhythm until ICD shocked him out of it. Upon immediate assessment, patient asymptomatic and HDS but "felt something was going on in there (his chest)." Has felt 3-4 shocks per day recently. Recent EF between 5-10%. Scary for patient but cool case. ICD FTW!
