there is confirmed ventricular tachycardia lasting greater that 30
seconds is:
a. Initiate emergency response system

b. Do not use the equipment until the leakage current is
lowered.
c. Continue to record since this leakage current is within
acceptable limits.
d. Use an extra grounding electrode on the patients - correct
answer- Do not use the equipment until the leakage current is
lowered.
