According to NEETS Mod. 1, at approximately what current level through the chest does ventricular fibrillation and death occur?
- A. 1–5 mA
- B. 10–20 mA
- C. 50–75 mA
- ✓ 100–200 mACorrect
Why D 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 (1 mA) or muscular freeze (approximately 10 mA), but are not identified as the fibrillation threshold.
