Defibrillator and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (Icd)  (English, Paperback, R.k.v. Murugan)

To provide basic understanding about the Defibrillator Equipment. To perform and understand the basic technical trouble shooting steps and PPM tasks. Perform and identify basic problems, errors and basic trouble shooting solutions. Basics Of Heart Anatomy is explained with action potentials. Atrial Fibrillation & Ventricular Fibrillation Semi Automatic, Fully Automatic Defibrillators are discussed. Mono-phasic & Bi-phasic Defibrillator is explained with basic waveforms. Components of defibrillator, AC & DC Defibrillator are explained with circuit diagram. Battery longevity and construction of Batteries are discussed elaborately. Effect of delayed treatment is discussed to save patient. Specifications of capacitance of defibrillator is given. One of the developments of cardiac electrotherapy that also started in the eighties was the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). These implantable devices manage life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Battery, programmer for ICD are discussed.
