It is estimated that Cardiovascular
diseases account for the majority of death
in the US with a total toll of about 11
million people per annum

•Ventricular Fibrillation(VF)
•
When a ventricular arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
becomes very fast and irregular, it's called ventricular
fibrillation
• Ventricular
•
Tachycardia(VT)
is a tachycardia, or fast heart rhythm that originates in
one of the ventricles of the heart.
• The process used to curtail Ventricular
Fibrillation(VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia(VT)
•Unless treatment is given in 5 to 10 minutes, ventricular fibrillation causes death.
•Devices Used in the process- Defibrillators
•Two Types•Automatic External Defibrillators(AEDs) -in vitro
•
•Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators(ICDs) – in vivo
have electronic analyzer circuitry that
monitors the cardiac rhythm and alerts
when a defibrillation shock is needed.
AED in use
Video of AED use
The algorithm for recognizing VF and committing
to shock delivery is as follows:
(1) The AED will begin to charge if it
detects at least two "positive intervals"
within a 9.6 sec period. A positive interval is defined as six or more
deflections that are at least 0. 150 mV (1.5 mm trough-topeak) in amplitude with a maximum slope of 3.2 mV/sec (termed VF
counts) occurring in a 2.4 sec period (rate at least 150/min).
(2) The AED will discharge if it detects a third
positive interval within 7.2 sec of the
start of capacitor charging. Thus it takes a minimum of 4.8sec
(2 x 2.4) to begin charging; it requires a minimum of 7.2 sec (3 x
2.4) to commit to a shock after being presented with VF.
Algorithm-recognition patterns
Smaller cardiac mass in Children will
cause their VF to differ from Adult.
Children have faster supra VT than
adult
Results
AED failed to properly diagnose VT hence with an average
sensitivity of 56%
However for VF the sensitivity was 96% on the average
Used when ventricular fibrillation and
tachycardia are frequent and continuous
defibrillation are needed.
•A 36-year-old man with an ATLAS+ DR V- 243 (St. Jude Medical,
Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) dual chamber implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD) received a shock while cycling, but was
otherwise asymptomatic
•Medtronic leads are designed for use with an ICD as part of a
cardiac system. Leads are intended for delivering therapies and/or
sensing in the atrium and/or ventricle of the heart
•Doesn’t everyone know how to be safe?
• Several attempts are done to ensure safety like FDA regulation,
various compliance- annual trainings, increased litigation, etc.
•The fact remains safety education is hard to sell, hard to pay
attention to and hard to remember.
•Why?
• -reluctance to learn
• -resistance to change
•Federally, FDA is charge with the mandate of ensuring the
medical devices are SAFE. However the FDA relies on the
manufacturers to provide with data on malfunction of the device.
• If your are the manufacturer- Will you always report the
needed data?

Based on my presentation why was VT
showing lower Sensitivity readings
compared to VF in children under 13 years
old?
