Transthoracic resistance to DC defibrillation is decreased byheart weight and thickness of ventricular myocardium is more important factors in direct defibrillation
Hypokalemia decreases the likelihood of defibrillation.
Resistance to the electric current flow is increased after the initial shock.
Transthoracic resistance decreases with repeated shocks, increasing current flow to the heart
True statements concerning direct ventricular defibrillation during cardiopulmonary bypass include the following, EXCEPTThin-walled ventricles defibrillate more easily than hypertrophied ventricles.
Myocardial impedance decreases after a single shock.
Hypokalemia decreases the chance of defibrillation
Shocks greater than 30 J are associated with myocardial damage.
