    During use of certain efficia ecg trunk cables, if the patient required electrical energy for defibrillation or cardioversion, it is possible for some of the energy to be diverted away from the patient’s thoracic cavity through the ecg cable. this could result in a reduction in defibrillation energy delivered to the patient. in addition, it is possible for the patient to not receive defibrillation therapy as expected.
