Impact of Inappropriate Empiric Antimicrobial Therapy on Mortality of Septic Patients with Bacteremia: A Retrospective Study

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background. Inappropriate empiric antimicrobials could be a major cause of unfavorable mortality rates in co-morbid patients. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and impact of first-dose and 24-hour inappropriate antimicrobials on mortality rates ...

Interaction between shock coils increased the incidence of inappropriate therapies and lead failure in implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2018
Aims: Shock coil interaction in patients with multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads is occasionally observed. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of shock coil interaction and its clinical relevance.

Intra-Abdominal Hemorrhage Triggering Inappropriate Therapy From a Subcutaneous Defibrillator

JACC: Case Reports
The SMART Pass filter (Boston Scientific) aims to reduce inappropriate shocks (IASs) from subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators by filtering out low-frequency signals such as T waves.

Reduction of inappropriate shock rate through signal filtering (smart-pass) in patients with implantable subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) are effective in protecting patients against sudden death but expose them to a higher risk of inappropriate shock (IAS).

Unresolved matters related to implantable cardioverter defibrillators: How can we avoid shock therapy?

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have become very useful for patients with a high risk of sudden cardiac death, based on the results of several clinical trials. Although ICDs can improve survival when used in patients with heart failure (HF)

PREDICTORS OF INAPPROPRIATE SHOCKS FROM IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER-DEFIBRILLATORS

Wiadomości Lekarskie, 2019
Introduction: Inappropriate shocks in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are associated with significant psychological and physical consequences and increased long-term mortality. The aim: To assess predictors associated with inappropriate high-energy discharges of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Material and Methods:

Unfortunate Hand Positioning Yielding Inappropriate Defibrillator Shock: Another Paradigm of a Guilty Association Between Patient Awareness and Occupational Hazard

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2019
A 64-year-old patient had a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implanted 4 years ago for dilated cardiomyopathy. He recently had an inappropriate shock as a result of an electrical leak from a refrigerator causing electromagnetic ...
