How is it that doctors can use the electric paddles on patients with ear or body piercings in place? Won’t the electric shock burn the piercing sites around the metal?
In: Technology
Not my area of expertise but I imagine it’s such a quick pulse, no chance for the metal to hear. Besides, if you’re using a defibrillator, you have an arrhythmia that needs correcting. So either death or potential for light burn localized around some piercings.
