c.
Predict the success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold.
Predict the success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold.
c.
Answer to Problem 59E
The success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold is 86.98%.
The success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold is 52.63%.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The energy of shock is given as a multiple of the threshold of defibrillation.
For an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold,
Thus, the success for an energy shock 1.75 times the threshold is 86.98%.
For an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold,
Thus, the success for an energy shock 0.8 times the threshold is 52.63%.
