What is a defibrillator?
Also known as Automated External Defibrillator (AED), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart.
What are implantable cardioverter defibrillators?
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) ICDs are useful in preventing sudden death in patients with known, sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.
What is an automated external defibrillator (AED)?
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which are in many public spaces, were developed to save the lives of people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Even untrained bystanders can use these devices in an emergency. Other defibrillators can prevent sudden death among people who have a high risk of a life-threatening arrhythmia.
What are the side effects of a defibrillator?
A collapsed lung A defibrillator wire puncturing the heart or a vessel Bleeding from the site where the device was placed Blood vessel, heart, or nerve damage Swelling, bruising, or infection at the area where the device was placed Venous thromboembolism

How does a biphasic defibrillator work?
Unlike conventional monophasic defibrillators, biphasic defibrillators deliver current in two directions. In the first phase, the current moves from one paddle to the other as with monophasic defibrillators. During the second phase, the current flow reverses direction.
What is a Joule in a defibrillator?
A joule is the unit of work associated with one amp of current passed through one ohm of resistance for one second. Joules have become a surrogate for current in modern defibrillator language. Current: Current is what actually defibrillates the heart.
Why do doctors say ‘clear’ before using a defibrillator?
Why do doctors say ‘ Clear! ’ before using a defibrillator? Doctors always loudly say ‘Clear!’ before placing the paddles on the patient’s body and passing an electric current through it. Why? This is because defibrillators pass an electric current through the patient’s body.
Who makes the best Echezeaux in France?
The best Echezeauxs I have tasted were made by the producers Liger-Belair and Henri Jayer and both are at least partly from the plot “Les Cruots or Vignes Blanches”. The Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeaux made mainly from “Les Poulaillères” is also very fine, but lacks the complexity and intensity of the first two mentioned.
How big is Echezeaux?
Echezeaux was expanded in 1937 from 3,5 ha. to its present size. There was a lot of discussions about the quality of the new parts of Echezeaux, and in generel one can say that the “new Echezeaux” is one of the lesser grand crus, mainly due to the fact of the inclusion of a lot of plots and growers, with sub grand cru standards.
