(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 8: Device Cases-Poole Case 9 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case study of a 57-year-old with a single-chamber ICD, an analysis is presented to determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of a 25-joule shock delivery. The ICD is set with a single BF zone at a detection period of 320 milliseconds, with treatment intervals at 18 out of 24. After reviewing electrogram sources and marker channels, the scenario evaluates the potential outcomes of the shock delivery. The most likely conclusion, given the options presented, is that a 25-joule shock would likely defibrillate reliably (Option D).
