The SHOCKING Truth | Defibrillate, Cardiovert, Pace

The air is electric in this shocking talk about the defibrillator! We are talking about the different modes that the defibrillator on our crash carts can operate in, and more importantly how we use these different modes to help our patients with different disorders going on. The goal is to give you a better understanding of the what, why, and how they differ from each other.

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.

I work in PACU. This is an excellent refresher course since we rarely have emergencies. Your lessons are very helpful, you’re making us better and safer nurses. So you’re saving lives! Thank You!

[drsaumyasekharjenasamant]

Hi, I am a CVT surgeon. we use pacemakers and defib day in and out. still, there is a lot of scope to keep learning. thanks for the video

[latoyawilliams]

I hope that everyone who has you as a co-worker consider themselves very lucky. Thank u. U will never know how much i needed this.

[Nicholasvelaz]

I love these videos. I work in the ED as a tech, and I'm soon going to be in nursing school, and this channel is gold.

[maanski]

I'm studying for ACLS (first time) and came across this. Thank you for sharing! This was really helpful and straight to the point.

[Jamiaca]

Bro, this is seriously the best session on defibrillators I’ve ever seen in my life.

[DPB]

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!

Am an emergency care student in uganda, but this helps me so much, thank you sir . 🙏

[DrRussell]

You are a legend. Perfect revision for MRCEM board exam. Much respect Sir.

[mango]

Got my CCRN because of your videos!!! Thank you so much!

[kailynallen]

Thank you so much for what you do!! I'm in my third semester of nursing school. I've worked as a tech in a medical ICU for the past three years and I love it so much! I am planning on pursuing a job on my unit when I graduate in December, so I am trying to get a leg up while I can. Your videos are helping reduce the insane amount of information I'll need to learn when I start. I cannot thank you enough for helping make my dreams come true. You are truly

[MoreN]

I'm transitioning into step-down after almost 20 years of med-surg and this was really helpful, thank you!

[ashleya]

Amazing work! I'm in PA school and this made more sense than our lectures. I appreciate you.

[Zozzle]

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.

[elpedro]

I swear, when I have to refresh a topic, I make sure to visit your page! Everything with you is very clear and simple. 
Thank you from Switzerland <3

[marksmadhousemetaphysicalm]

I'm in psych nursing...used to be in ED...a refresher is always welcome...especially going into NP school...

[helenwright]

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 I thank you!

[Assad]

I have been reading these topics for many years BUT, I understood it in detail now. Professionally and clearly explained ❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👌💯

[MelanieNord]

Excellent presentation with straightforward descriptions. I work MedSurg with shifts as SCU (Specialty Care Unit). This was great information for me, thank you for your good teaching!
