Surgery on Children, cilt.1, sa.2, ss.22-25, 2024 (Hakemli Dergi)
Pediatric surgery is a complex and intricate medical procedure. Children have unique anatomical and physiological
characteristics, which can increase the likelihood of complications during surgical interventions. Instances of sudden cardiac
events and cardiac arrest are among the emergencies that necessitate immediate invention, with defibrillation being a crucial
tool in such scenarios. Defibrillation is a procedure utilized to address life-threatening arrhythmia such as ventricular
fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, aiming to restore a normal heart rhythm through the application of an
electric shock. In pediatric cases, defibrillation demands meticulous attention to timing and the use of appropriate energy
levels to avoid potential harm and ensure effective management of surgical complications.
