We describe a rare case of inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy due to false sensing of electromechanical interference from diathermy as 'ventricular fibrillation (VF)'. This occurred during surgical removal of sternal wires under general anaesthesia. Postsurgical interrogation of ICD revealed the intracardiac electrogram showing the mechanical interference sensed as 'VF' by ICD and subsequent shock delivery.
我们描述了一例罕见的不适当植入式心脏复律除颤器(ICD)治疗案例,原因是将来自透热疗法的机电干扰误感知为“心室颤动(VF)”。这一情况发生在全身麻醉下进行胸骨钢丝取出手术期间。术后对ICD的问询显示,心内电图显示了被ICD误感知为“VF”并随后导致电击发放的机械干扰。
