(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 8: Device Cases-Poole Case 7 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case, a 57-year-old with a single-chamber ICD receives a 25-joule shock for VF detection. The ICD is programmed for detection at 320 milliseconds with 18 out of 24 intervals, and the impedance is measured at 53 ohms. Among the options, the correct answer is most likely D, a 25-joule shock would likely defibrillate VF reliably. The details of shock delivery and system settings suggest that the shock capability and detection are appropriately set for successful defibrillation under these conditions.
