This video got me married! I met my wife in the hospital when my patient needed synchronized cardioversion. She was a new grad and wanted to assist/learn. After the shock both our hearts were also in synch ;) I asked for her phone number so I could send her this video. The rest is history.

Thanks for the explanation. I had my 2nd a-fib cardioversion yesterday (the first one five months ago reverted itself after one week). This one is a success but time will tell if it holds. The nurses, docs and aides all answered my questions but we don't always know the questions to ask. I now know more than I did.

Thanks for this really informative, articulate video! Thanks to your video, I now know what happens while I'm in Propofol dreamland. I'm a patient who's had five synchronous cardioversions for AFib/AFlutter over the past 9 years. Had one last week, which thankfully returned me to normal SR. Let's hope it holds... If not, looks like I'll need a third RF Ablation. Deep respect for ALL who participate in these procedures -- you're my heroes!

I have been a med-surg. nurse only. Since 1988. I just retired. However. I became a bit board. I applied for a job that required ACLS. Well I've never had ACLS, as there was no need for my position. I immediately started watching your videos. Not more than an hour later I called an ACLS instructor to see if she could get me in her class ASAP. She said she wasn't taking any new students. I told her I had studied. She started quizzing me. "Name the rhythms that are shockable?" Etc. Etc. At the end of the quiz. She accepted me. I now have my ACLS 96 score. All because of you!!!!!!! I thank you!

Thanks Stuart!

I think that was a good review. I'd add just a few things: When the hand-held attached electrodes are used, a conducting medium (NaCl paste) must be placed between the metal and the pt's skin. When possible, it's wise for 2 people to be used with each holding one electrode. This makes accidental shocking of the operator impossible. I've seen that happen only once out of many hundreds of cases but a distinguished cardiologist was injured in the process. In thin pts. especially with VT, a very small energy (5-10 joules) may be very successful and isn't sufficiently painful to require sedation but does merit a warning to the pt. In cardioversion/defibrillation, delay and tissue acidosis are the most important factors in limiting success. With that said, I have converted at least a dozen (probably more) pts. with a chest thump. That brings up asystole: I have seen a number of pts. with asystole respond to very low energy shocks. But they are uncommon except in the OR where it's actually usually the case. AP electrode placement, as you stated, is much more likely to be successful. Shouting "everybody off" is not sufficient. It is the obligation of the operator to be sure that no one is at risk from defibrillation. LOOK carefully. It takes only 3 seconds. If you can't see the "sync. mark" on the screen, remember that many units will sync. only on a positive complex (R wave and not S wave).

Great one!

Hey thank you Justin! I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great comment. So glad to hear my videos have helped you in your nursing journey. Sounds like you've got a great plan to get in to the ICU. And you absolutely can do it if you put your mind to it. As far as preparing before hand, I wouldn't worry too much about the critical care sides of things, as you will learn that when you are there and it'll make more practical sense. In the mean time focus on things like, time management and your understanding of pathophysiology and solid assessment skills. Have this stuff dialed in will pay dividends when you get to the ICU and you can focus on the critical care aspects of learning and not have to worry about the other things. Also being able to give a quick SBAR on your patient is important as time in ICU is often very limited when things are going bad. And thanks about the intro! I'm so stoked about it!
