Not to get political but you should know that the only part of government that actually works is Dick Cheney's defibrillator.Is it dangerous to be in bath tub if a implanted debibulator goes off?
It would be very dangerous if it DIDN'T 'go off' darling.
It is called a DEFIBRILLATOR after 'fibrillation' which is fluttering of the heart muscles which makes the strong pumping function of the heart useless, and the additive 'DE' means to stop this fibrillation by influencing the electrical activity in the muscles so the heart starts to pump strongly again.Is it dangerous to be in bath tub if a implanted debibulator goes off?
The danger itself is not necessarily the bathtub, not like it will cause electrocution, it only has the power of a battery, not the voltage of an electrical outlet in your home. The person could however slip or have an accident, but the same could occur without the difibulator.The fact that the difibulator is being discharged means that the heart has gone into an irregular rhythm. The shock is actually quite small, painful for the patient (according to my aunt) and afterwards (if they survive) leaves them very weak and tired.
What's a DEBIBULATOR?
I have an implanted DEFIBRILLATOR, never heard of the thing you are talking about. Only dangerous to the tub, not to the patient.
