(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 8: Device Cases-Poole Case 5 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The patient received an ICD shock, and the tracing is examined to determine if the therapy was appropriate. The options include appropriate ICD therapy or inappropriate ICD therapy due to atrial over-sensing or under-sensing. The tracing, which includes anti-tachycardia pacing resulting in rhythm termination with a B pace, is analyzed. The conclusion is to decide whether the ICD therapy was administered correctly or if there were errors in atrial sensing. This assessment is crucial to ensure proper device function and patient safety.
