According to NEETS Mod. 1 §1-4, at approximately what level of current through the body does ventricular fibrillation and death become likely?
- A. 1 mA
- B. 10 mA
- ✓ 100–200 mACorrect
- D. 500 mA
Why C is correct
NEETS Mod. 1 §1-4 identifies approximately 100–200 mA through the chest as the range that causes ventricular fibrillation and death. 1 mA is merely perceptible, and 10 mA causes a muscular freeze but is below the fibrillation threshold cited.
