Define Macroshock | Macroshock is the passage of current from one part of the body to another. A lethal macroshock current resulting in ventricular fibrillation must exceed 100 to 300 mA |
Define Microshock | Microshock s defined as the passage of current through intracardiac conductors i.e. cardiac catheters, ventricular fibrillation my result at currents less than 100uV |
