    Can a defibrillator stop a healthy heart?

    Imagine if you can a busy resuscitation room in a nameless Emergency Department.

    The staff are working tirelessly in an, eventually fruitless, attempt to save the life of the patient in front of them.

    The cardiac rhythm is Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), one of the two 'shockable' rhythms of cardiac arrest. The paddles of the defibrillator are seized by one of the two Doctors at the bedside, he places the paddles on the chest of the patient, he presses the button to charge the paddles, he 'shocks' the patient.

    The AED machine https://www.mindray.com/en/aed.html is the main tool of rescuers, so I ordered a couple for myself, without them my work was not effective, I could not quickly save people, but now everything has changed, thanks for such a wonderful opportunity

    Re: Can a defibrillator stop a healthy heart?

    Hey, I've been hearing quite a bit about cardiac robotic surgery lately, and it has me intrigued. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is already a reality or if it's something we can expect in the near future? The idea of robots assisting in cardiac surgeries sounds both fascinating and groundbreaking. I'm curious to know if any of you have insights or information on the current state of cardiac robotic surgery, and if it's being implemented in medical practices.

    Cardiac robotic surgery is already a reality, showcasing significant advancements in medical technology. Surgeons employ robotic systems to perform intricate procedures with enhanced precision and minimal invasiveness. This approach reduces recovery time and offers improved patient outcomes. While not universally adopted, numerous medical centers globally have embraced this innovative technique. The future holds promising developments, with ongoing research aimed at refining existing technology and expanding its applications. Overall, the integration of robotics in cardiac surgery is a tangible and evolving reality, contributing to the continual enhancement of healthcare practices.
