AbstractBackgroundAutomated external defibrillators can be life-saving in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.ObjectiveOur aim was to review our experience of prescribing automated external defibrillators for children at increased risk of sudden arrhythmic death.MethodsWe reviewed all automated external defibrillators issued by the Scottish Paediatric Cardiac Electrophysiology Service from 2005 to 2015. All parents were given resuscitation training according to the Paediatric Resuscitation Guidelines, including the use of the automated external defibrillator.ResultsA total of 36 automated external defibrillators were issued to 36 families for 44 children (27 male). The mean age at issue was 8.8 years. Diagnoses at issue included long QT syndrome (50%), broad complex tachycardia (14%), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (11%), and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (9%). During the study period, the automated external defibrillator was used in four (9%) children, and in all four the automated external defibrillator correctly discriminated between a shockable rhythm – polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation in three patients with one or more shocks delivered – and non-shockable rhythm – sinus rhythm in one patient. Of the three children, two of them who received one or more shocks for ventricular fibrillation/polymorphic ventricular tachycardia survived, but one died as a result of recurrent torsades de pointes. There were no other deaths.ConclusionParents can be taught to recognise cardiac arrest, apply resuscitation skills, and use an automated external defibrillator. Prescribing an automated external defibrillator should be considered for children at increased risk of sudden arrhythmic death, especially where the risk/benefit ratio of an implantable defibrillator is unclear or delay to defibrillator implantation is deemed necessary.

Abstract:
Objectives: The objectives of this systematic literature review were to identify all published literature on wearable defibrillators, assess the wearable defibrillator's efficacy and effectiveness in general and among specific patient groups, including post-myocardial infarction, post coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, and ischemic cardiomyopathy, and to evaluate the quality of evidence.Methods: The search and synthesis was informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement, and the quality of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.Results: A total of thirty-six articles and conference abstracts from thirty-three studies were included in the review. It appears that wearable defibrillator use compared with no defibrillator use reduces the chance of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) associated deaths by an absolute risk reduction of approximately 1 percent, achieved by averting approximately 4/5th of all VT/VF associated deaths. The quality of evidence was low to very low quality, such that our confidence in the reported estimates is weak.Conclusions: To validate beneficial results, further investigation using robust study designs conducted by independent researchers is warranted.

Abstract:
Background/Aims Implantable cardiac defibrillators reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in selected patients. The value of an implantable cardiac defibrillator declines as the patient's disease progresses. Guidelines suggest that the appropriateness of maintaining implantable cardiac defibrillator therapy be regularly reviewed as part of monitoring of the patient's disease trajectory. It is recommended that implantable cardiac defibrillators are deactivated as patients approach the end of life. Patients with a better understanding of their current state of health and the role that the implantable cardiac defibrillator plays within it are more likely to make informed decisions about the timing of deactivation. Methods: A quality improvement project was undertaken on appropriate deactivation of implantable cardiac defibrillators within a large tertiary cardiac centre. This was driven by audit data showing inadequate patient communication and documentation around deactivation. Drivers for change included the introduction of electronic data records, clinical review of comorbid patients approaching elective battery change and an ongoing forum for patient and carer education. Measured outcomes included the number of deactivations performed, evidence of patient discussion and consent, and timing of deactivation of the implantable cardiac defibrillator. Results There were increased numbers of timely device deactivations undertaken following the interventions with improved documented evidence of patient discussion and consent. The educational forum was received favourably. Conclusions Focused multidisciplinary interventions can impact favourably on appropriate implantable cardiac defibrillator deactivation and improve patient engagement.

Abstract:
Automated external defibrillators are pervasive computing devices designed for the treatment and management of acute sudden cardiac arrest. This study aims to explain users’ actual use behavior in teams formed by different professions taken after a short time span of interaction with automated external defibrillator. Before the intervention, all the participants were certified with the American Heart Association Basic Life Support for healthcare providers. A statistically significant difference was revealed in mean individual automated external defibrillator technical skills between uniprofessional and interprofessional groups. The technical automated external defibrillator team scores were greater for groups with interprofessional than for those with uniprofessional education. The nontechnical automated external defibrillator skills of interprofessional and uniprofessional teams revealed differences in advantage of interprofessional teams. Students positively accept automated external defibrillators if well-defined and validated training opportunities to use them expertly are available. Uniprofessional teams were successfully supported by their members and, thereby, used automated external defibrillator effectively. Furthermore, the interprofessional approach resulted in as much effective teamwork as the uniprofessional approach.

Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this clinical study was to compare the prehospital use of fully automatic defibrillators versus semi-automatic defibrillators.Methods:Fully and semi-automatic defibrillator use by EMTs in neighboring communities was compared.Results:Both programs had similar response times, age and gender distribution, proportion of witnessed arrests, and proportion of patients found initially with ventricular fibrillation (VF). The time-to-shock from proper lead placement was shorter when the fully automatic defibrillator was used (16.6 vs. 44.3 seconds; p<.001) and the survival to hospital discharge rate was greater (26% vs. 0%; p=.O4). The semi-automatic defibrillators were more sensitive in detecting VF than were the fully automatic devices.Conclusions:These data support the need for further comparison of the efficacy and effectiveness of semi- and fully automatic, external defibrillators.

Abstract:
Implantable cardiac defibrillators are a key component in preventing sudden cardiac death for patients with life-threatening arrhythmias. Through ageing, frailty and the progression of cardiac and non-cardiac morbidity, many will develop a ‘life-limiting’ condition. This raises the challenge of how to approach making decisions to deactivate the defibrillator function. This article discusses the background to deactivation of implantable cardioverter defibrillators and the practical considerations for different circumstances.

Abstract:
Context: Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of automated external defibrillators and emergency planning for sudden cardiac arrest in the athletic setting. Evidence Acquisition: Relevant studies on automated external defibrillators, early defibrillation, and public-access defibrillation programs were reviewed. Recommendations from consensus guidelines and position statements applicable to automated external defibrillators in athletics were also considered. Results: Early defibrillation programs involving access to automated external defibrillators by targeted local responders have demonstrated a survival benefit for sudden cardiac arrest in many public and athletic settings. Conclusion: Schools and organizations sponsoring athletic programs should implement automated external defibrillators as part of a comprehensive emergency action plan for sudden cardiac arrest. In a collapsed and unresponsive athlete, sudden cardiac arrest should be suspected and an automated external defibrillator applied as soon as possible, as decreasing the time interval to defibrillation is the most important priority to improve survival in sudden cardiac arrest.

Abstract:
The use of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is a novel option for preventing arrhythmia-mediated cardiac death in patients who are at risk of endovascular-device infection or in whom venous access is difficult. However, the potential for electromagnetic interference between subcutaneous defibrillators and left ventricular assist devices is largely unknown. We report the case of a 24-year-old man in whom we observed no electromagnetic interference between a subcutaneous implanted cardioverter-defibrillator and a HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist System, at 3 different pump speeds. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such findings in this circumstance.

Abstract:
Il cuore è uno dei principali organi vitali dell’organismo umano e la sua fisiologica attività è indispensabile per sostenere uno stile di vita conforme alle esigenze del singolo individuo. Le aritmie cardiache, alterazioni del ritmo, possono compromettere o limitare la vita di un paziente che ne è affetto. Specifiche aritmie cardiache vengono trattate con l’impianto di dispositivi cardiaci impiantabili, i defibrillatori, che generano una stimolazione elettrica nel tessuto cardiaco allo scopo di ripristinare un ritmo cardiaco fisiologico. Il presente elaborato descrive come tali dispositivi siano in grado di correggere le aritmie cardiache, garantendo la sicurezza del paziente e permettendogli di svolgere le normali attività quotidiane . Il primo capitolo andrà ad analizzare il cuore dal punto di vista anatomico e fisiologico per capirne il funzionamento non affetto da patologie. Il secondo capitolo concentrerà l’analisi sui defibrillatori impiantabili per stimolazione cardiaca (ICD), facendo luce sulla storia, sulle funzioni primarie,sui componenti interni,sulle patologie legate all’utilizzo,sulle tipologie presenti in commercio e sul metodo d’impianto. Il terzo capitolo è incentrato sul monitoraggio remoto degli ICD (home-monitoring), attraverso il quale il paziente può trasmettere per via transtelefonica al centro cardiologico di riferimento i dati tecnici e clinici desumibili dall’interrogazione del dispositivo impiantato, senza necessità di ricorrere al controllo ambulatoriale tradizionale. L’home-monitoring nei pazienti portatori di dispositivo impiantabile si è dimostrato efficace per l’individuazione di malfunzionamenti e di instabilità cliniche in misura sovrapponibile rispetto al controllo ambulatoriale tradizionale, offrendo però significativi vantaggi in termini di qualità della vita e di gestione delle risorse sanitarie. Infine saranno presentate le conclusioni di tale elaborato.

Abstract:
In questo mio elaborato espongo il ruolo delle nuove tecnologie per trattamento dei pazienti con dispositivi cardiaci impiantabili, quali pacemaker, defibrillatori e defibrillatori sottocutanei. Nel primo capitolo viene descritta la fisiologia cardiaca, spiegando come avviene la conduzione dell'impulso elettrico nel cuore e quali sono i problemi che possono presentarsi (aritmie cardiache). Nel secondo capitolo vengono trattati i pacemaker, dal pacemaker tradizionale fino al leadless. Nel terzo capitolo vengono descritti i defibrillatori cardiaci impiantabili sia transvenosi che sottocutanei. Infine, l'ultimo capitolo è riservato alla trattazione del monitoraggio remoto dei dispositivi cardiaci impiantabili. Al giorno d'oggi (in epoca COVID-19) è un argomento di fondamentale importanza, poiché si cerca sempre di più di erogare un'assistenza sanitaria a distanza per ridurre il carico di lavoro nelle strutture ospedaliere. Vengono descritti gli aspetti medico-legali relativi ad esso e sono spiegate le modalità di monitoraggio remoto dei dispositivi trattati nei capitoli precedenti.

Abstract:
The number of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, is dramatically rising due to an aging population. Coupled with the benefits of CIEDs for people who have cardiac disease are an undefined number of risks that jeopardise the same patient health. There are many causes for this, one in particular is the electromagnetic interference (EMI) phenomena, i.e. an interaction between the CIED and the electric and magnetic fields of an external source that generate noises. The aim of this thesis is to know the mechanisms behind the EMI phenomena with CIEDs thank to different literature studies. After an introduction of CIEDs technology and a brief mention of electromagnetism notions, the EMI with Cardiac devices in medical and non-medical environmental are discussed.

Abstract:
Introduction: Lay use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) before the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS) providers on scene increases survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). AEDs have been placed in public locations may be not ready for use when needed. We describe a protocol for AED surveillance that tracks these devices through time and space to improve public health, and survival as well as facilitate research. Methods and analysis: Included AEDs are installed in public locations for use by laypersons to treat patients with OHCA before the arrival of EMS providers on scene. Included cases of OHCA are patients evaluated by organised EMS personnel and treated for OHCA. Enrolment of 10 000 AEDs annually will yield precision of 0.4% in the estimate of readiness for use. Enrolment of 2500 patients annually will yield precision of 1.9% in the estimate of survival to hospital discharge. Recruitment began on 21 Mar 2014 and is ongoing. AEDs are found by using multiple methods. Each AED is then tagged with a label which is a unique two-dimensional (2D) matrix code; the 2D matrix code is recorded and the location and status of the AED tracked using a smartphone; these elements are automatically passed via the internet to a secure and confidential database in real time. Whenever the 2D matrix code is rescanned for any non-clinical or clinical use of an AED, the user is queried to answer a finite set of questions about the device status. The primary outcome of any clinical use of an AED is survival to hospital discharge. Results are summarised descriptively. Ethics and dissemination: These activities are conducted under a grant of authority for public health surveillance from the Food and Drug Administration. Results are provided periodically to participating sites and sponsors to improve public health and quality of care.

Abstract:
Background: The ICD controls the heart rhythm and reacts to serious heart rhythm abnormalities and trigger, if necessary, a defibrillation to restore the heart to normal rhythm. Living with an ICD can provide major changes in everyday life. Nurse´s important role regards to provide relevant patient education to include promoting the health and quality of life (QOL) for these individuals. Purpose: To describe QOL for people living with an ICD, from a gender and age perspective, and to examine the included articles selection strategy and research group. Method: The result of this descriptive literature review compiled from eleven quantitative scientific articles, sought in PubMed and Scopus. Main Results: Women reported lower QOL then men linked to impaired mental, physical and social function. Also a greater concern and anxiety were found in women. Mental illness affected mainly young people, who also experienced a lower acceptance to the device than older ICD- receivers. Older people reported less concern that the ICD would deliver a shock. However, a reduced QOL related to higher incidence of physical impairment, were noticed in the elderly ICD- receivers compared to the younger. Four articles specified their selection strategy. All reported the number of participants and how many were men and women. The age range of participants was specified in five articles. Conclusion: Impacts on QOL could be discerned to different gender and ages. These findings confirmed the need for health professionals to access more holistic patient- education programs that focus not only on the technical aspects of living with an ICD but more on the individual impact.
Bakgrund: En ICD kontrollerar hjärtrytmen, reagerar på allvarliga hjärtrytmrubbningar och utlöser vid behov en defibrillering för att återställa normal hjärtrytm. Att leva med en ICD kan innebära stora omställningar i det vardagliga livet. Sjuksköterskan har en betydande roll i omvårdnaden kring dessa personer där bland annat relevant patientutbildning är viktig för att främja personers hälsa och livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva livskvaliteten hos personer som lever med en implanterbar defibrillator (ICD), ur ett köns- och åldersperspektiv, samt att granska de inkluderade artiklarnas urvalsstrategi och undersökningsgrupp. Metod: Denna beskrivande litteraturstudies resultat sammanställdes utifrån elva granskade artiklar av kvantitativ ansats, eftersökta i databaserna PubMed och Scopus. Huvudresultat: Kvinnor rapporterade lägre livskvalitet än männen kopplat till nedsatt mental, fysisk och social funktion. Även en ökad oro och ångest förekom hos kvinnor. Psykisk ohälsa utvecklades främst hos yngre, vilka också upplevde lägre acceptans till enheten än äldre ICD- bärare vilket påverkade livskvaliteten. Äldre personer rapporterade mindre oro över att ICD:n skulle defibrillera. Dock sågs en nedsatt livskvalitet relaterat till högre förekomst av fysisk nedsättning i större grad hos äldre än yngre ICD- bärare. Fyra av resultatartiklarna angav använd urvalsstrategi. Samtliga redogjorde för antalet deltagare och hur många som var män respektive kvinnor. Åldersspannet mellan deltagarna angavs i fem artiklar. Slutsats: Olika inverkan på livskvaliteten kunde skönjas både mellan kön och olika åldrar. Dessa fynd bekräftade behovet av att sjukvårdspersonal behöver få tillgång till mer holistiska patientutbildningsprogram som inte enbart fokuserar på de tekniska aspekterna av att leva med en ICD.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Implanterbar defibrillator (ICD) är en medicinsk teknisk dosa som bryter livshotande arytmier med en defibrillering. För personer med en förhöjd risk att få ett plötsligt hjärtstopp kan ICD:n vara en direkt livräddande behandling. I dag finns närmare 7800 personer i Sverige som har ICD, vilket är en grupp som stadigt ökar i antal. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med implanterbar defibrillator. Metod: Litteraturöversikt som baseras på elva vetenskapliga artiklar som analyserats utifrån Fribergs mall för kvalitativ ansats. Resultat: Ur analysen framkom tre huvudteman, Att tappa kontrollen över livet, Ett förändrat liv med begränsningar och en andra chans med sju subteman. Resultatet visar på att patienter med ICD upplever en förändrad livssituation som påverkar dem på ett fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt plan. Reaktioner som osäkerhet, rädsla och oro är vanliga känslor som patienterna upplever. Flera av patienterna utvecklar även ett undvikande beteende på grund av rädsla för tillslag från ICD;n vilket leder till att livskvalité påverkas negativt. Allteftersom som tiden fortskrider så minskas de negativa följderna av behandlingen och de flesta av patienterna känner en djup tacksamhet till att ha fått en andra chans till livet. Diskussion: Sjuksköterskan behöver kunskap om de förändringar och begränsningar som det innebär att leva med en ICD. Samlivet, den fysiska förmågan och arbetslivet påverkas och sjuksköterskan behöver informera om dessa områden för att kunna stötta patienten att anpassa sig till det nya livet. Slutsats: Majoriteten av ICD-bärarna upplever en rädsla för inadekvata tillslag, ovisshet och osäkerhet när ett tillslag kommer att uppstå ligger till grund för de begränsningar patienterna upplever. Sjuksköterskor kommer allt oftare möta denna kategori av patienter vilket gör att det är viktigt med kunskap om deras upplevelser för att kunna möta dem och ge en korrekt vård.
Background: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator is a technological medical controller that interrupts life-threatening arrhythmias with an electrical shock. The ICD could have a direct life-saving impact for persons that have an increased risk to suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. About 7800 people have ICD in Sweden currently, however the group is steadily increasing in numbers. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the patients' experiences of living with implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Method: Literature overview that is based on eleven scientific articles analyzed based on Friberg’s template for qualitative approach. Findings: Three main topics arose from the analysis after working to the results, To lose control over life, A change life with limitations and A second chance with seven sub-themes. The results points at the patients with ICD goes through a change in their life situation, which affects them at a physical, psychical and social level. Reactions such as insecurity, fear and anxiety are common emotions the patients will feel. Many of the patients will also develop an avoidance behavior because of fear for an electrical shock from the ICD, that will lead to an adverse effect on their quality of life. The negative effects of the treatment will be reduced as time goes on and most of the patients will feel a deeper gratitude to having a second chance to life. Discussion: The nurse needs to know about the changes and limitations that are involved living with an ICD. The co-habitation, the physical ability and the ability to work are all affected and the nurse need to inform the patients about these changes in order to support them to adjust to this new way of life. Conclusion: The majority of ICD-carriers are experiencing a fear of inadequate electrical shock, uncertainty and insecurity when a electrical shock will occur is the basis for the restrictions that patients experiences. Nurses in Swedish healthcare system will encounter this group of patients more often and that makes it crucial that nurses have knowledge about their experiences in order to meet them and give proper care.

Abstract:
Background: Synchronised cardioversion (SC) is used to terminate tachycardic arrhythmia by applying electric current to the thorax. SC is synchronised to the R wave of the cardiac cycle and ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) can occur if an electrical shock is provided in a nonsynchronised way. Case Presentation: Here we present a case of a 66-year-old man who had elective cardioversion for atrial fibrillation worsened by severe left ventricular impairment. A manual defibrillator was used for the cardioversion, which, after the first synchronised shock, reverted to defibrillator mode. An unsynchronised shock was administered and induced VT, which was reverted to sinus rhythm with a defibrillation shock. Conclusion: When using manual defibrillator for SC, the machine needs to be set to a synchronised mode. The synchronisation to the R wave needs to be checked before every shock.
