Complications of electrical defibrillation are usually numerous, but the most common include arrhythmia and acute pulmonary edema, and skin burns may also occur. Most cases of electrical defibrillation occur when accidentally coming into contact with electric substances in daily life, causing adverse reactions to the body. If the reaction is severe, such as sudden asphyxia or transient loss of consciousness, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and allow professional doctors to make effective rescue.

1. Arrhythmia: Electrical defibrillation may trigger arrhythmia in patients during their daily lives, which is a common complication. It is caused by the wet tachycardia induced by contact with some conduction, and may also involve bradycardia. It is necessary to undergo an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram at a hospital in a timely manner, and then follow the doctor’s guidance to use some heart-stabilizing granules to promote improvement.

2. Acute pulmonary edema: Generally, patients may also suffer from complications such as acute pulmonary edema after being shocked by electricity, which usually occurs about an hour or three hours after the shock, and may be accompanied by left heart insufficiency, etc. It is necessary to receive a comprehensive physical examination at a hospital in a timely manner. If acute pulmonary edema is not treated promptly, it may be life-threatening.

3. Skin Burns: During electrical defibrillation, the skin can also sustain significant damage, especially when in contact with high-voltage plates, which may lead to symptoms of skin burns, such as a smell of burning and red spots or swelling on the skin.
