According to NEETS Mod. 1 §1-4, approximately what level of current passing through the chest is associated with ventricular fibrillation and death?
- A. 1–5 mA
- B. 10–20 mA
- ✓ 100–200 mACorrect
- D. 500 mA or greater
Why C is correct
NEETS Mod. 1 §1-4 states that roughly 100–200 mA through the chest causes ventricular fibrillation and death. Lower levels cause perception or muscular freeze but are not typically lethal; the 10 mA range causes the 'can't let go' effect.
