In this paper, we implemented a high performance automated external defibrillator(AED) simulator that has various characteristics of virtual simulated patient(VSP) to verify important operations and functions of the AED. To verify the AED in various environment, the AED simulator should have the characteristics of VSP and can analyze the characteristics of electrical shock rhythm. In this paper, the implemented simulator has twenty seven electrocardiogram scenarios and we showed the implemented simulator has less error rate than conventional simulator in analyzing electrical shock rhythm.

Iatrogenic electrical burns that occur from the use of a defibrillator, a paddle-type cardiac shock device, have been reported in various forms. Electrical burns are usually conducted directly through the skin and are more damaging than scald burns or contact burns. A transcutaneous cardiac pacing device is a patch-type cardiac shock device that automatically delivers a shock when an abnormal heart rhythm is detected. We introduce a unique case of iatrogenic electrical burns caused by the transcutaneous pacing patch of a cardiac shock device. Electrical energy was converted into a spark due to foreign bodies deposited around the patch, resulting in damage to the peripheral area of the skin.
