Imaging findings
Chest radiograph reveals a component of a defibrillator device not typically seen, appearing as a separate metallic structure integrated with the main apparatus. This component is designed to measure the efficacy and amplitude of chest compressions during CPR.
Key takeaways
This case highlights an unusual component of a modern defibrillator device (e.g., Zoll), which incorporates a feature to measure the efficacy of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Recognizing this metallic component as part of an integrated defibrillation system, rather than a separate or misplaced foreign body, is important.
