Factors affecting transthoracic impedance during electrical cardioversion

Successful cardioversion is dependent on the delivery of sufficient current. Current is determined by energy and transthoracic impedance (TTI). Our purpose was to assess factors affecting TTI in humans. Twenty-eight patients undergoing elective cardioversion were monitored up to 48 hours after shock...
