| Popis: | The chances of prehospital care providers being confronted with a patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) are increasing and so care providers must receive proper training. Based on observations made during the resuscitation of a patient with an ICD using an automated external defibrillator (AED) some technical features and possible interactions of ICDs and AEDs are highlighted. Furthermore, we discuss the key points of basic knowledge, safety, and treatment protocols for cardiac arrest and other situations required for practical training in the ICD for prehospital care providers. |
