Inappropriate shock in a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator due to residual air

Inappropriate shock due to residual air in subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators is not a well‐known complication. Obtaining overpenetrated X‐rays, recognizing electrocardiogram findings, limiting blunt finger dissection, and switching to sense at another vector are techniques which might...

Sumario:Inappropriate shock due to residual air in subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators is not a well‐known complication. Obtaining overpenetrated X‐rays, recognizing electrocardiogram findings, limiting blunt finger dissection, and switching to sense at another vector are techniques which might lead to avoidance of unnecessary wound exploration or device removal.
