Automatic internal cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) therapy is an expanding treatment option for patients experiencing sudden cardiac death events [Author: is this the correct term? It sounds as if they have in fact died. Could we say 'experiencing sudden, potentially fatal, cardiac events'?]. The paper outlines the background to the technique and the nursing care of such patients and their families. It recommends that future nursing research should focus on exploring the impact, on the patients and their families, of living with this device.
自动体内心脏复律除颤器（AICD）治疗是一种针对经历心脏性猝死事件患者不断扩展的治疗选择[作者：这个术语正确吗？听起来好像他们实际上已经死亡了。我们能不能说“经历突发的、可能致命的心脏事件”？]。本文概述了该技术的背景以及此类患者及其家属的护理。它建议未来的护理研究应侧重于探索携带该设备对患者及其家属的影响。
