Transthoracic resistance in human defibrillation. Influence of body weight, chest size, serial shocks, paddle size and paddle contact pressure.
Successful defibrillation depends on delivery of adequate electrical current to the heart; one of the major determinants of current flow is transthoracic resistance (TTR). To study the factors influencing TTR, we prospectively collected data from 44 patients undergoing emergency defibrillation. Shocks of 94-450 J delivered energy were administered from specially calibrated Datascope defibrillat...

متن کاملThe Influence of Different Hand Paddle Size on 100-m Front Crawl Kinematics
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of different sizes of hand paddles on kinematic parameters during a 100 m freestyle swimming performance in elite swimmers. Nine elite swimmers (19.1 ± 1.9 years) completed three tests of 100 m without paddles, with small paddles (271.27 cm(2)) and with large paddles (332.67 cm(2)), respectively. One video camera was used to record the pe...
متن کاملContact dissociation from paddle leads: a report of two cases.
Case 1 A 60-year-old white male developed neck and bilateral shoulder pain two and a half years ago. There was no history of trauma. He had numbness and paresthesias along the ulnar border of his left forearm and in his left ring and little fingers. Pinprick sensibility was decreased along the medial and lateral borders of his left forearm and in his left middle finger. Reflexes and motor testi...
