Three-dimensional finite element modelling of current density in maternal transthoracic defibrillation

Although resuscitation during pregnancy is relatively uncommon and rarely cause deaths they have a particularly large impact in terms of the mortality of the unborn child and long-term effects on families and society as whole. Although modelling of current density distribution and conductive anatomy of the human transthoracic defibrillation has been subject of certain research interest the attempts to model this phenomenon in pregnant women …
