Defibrillators– the final choice to saving lifes. Jurutera Online: Additional Reports. (2022)
Abstract
Defibrillators in the process of saving lives convert certain heart arrythmias to normal, predominantly
ventricular fibrillation back to normal and monitor all patient parameters to ensure effective treatment. A block diagram was used to describe the charging mechanisms in the defibrillator. Although the defibrillator is meant to save lives, nevertheless, it poses special hazards despite being
regularly maintained. Some of the mishaps shared were microchip failure, battery failure, or battery not being fully charged, power supply or charging circuit failure, inadequate energy delivery and noncompatible pad connections. Maintenance requirements are always based on manufacturer recommendations. However, in the event the information is not available, risk assessment tools can be used to determine the test frequency. He briefly explained the acts, regulations, standards and best practices related to the defibrillators.
