The article linked outside is outdated and causes an error 404. I'll try to find a current link.
Edit: I found a few more links and added some content.
About pad placement, the article says " two pads are placed on the patient's chest, either in the anterior/lateral position or the anterior/posterior position". Whenever I've been cardioverted (for a-fib), there's always been a pad on my back, and one on my chest. Perhaps this sentence needs rewording? Cheers, Doctormatt 21:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I am considering having this procedure done for the first time. I belive I have been in Afib for over a year but my doctors have recommended it. I am hesitant to do this procedure as I am a health 52 year old male with no cardiovascular disease. Does anybody have any input as to the dangers of this procedure and the success rate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.122.64.83 ( talk) 22:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I removed this comment from the article (and similar comments from intubation and electrocardiogram):
It's inflammatory and it's not true. Regards, MoodyGroove 21:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

I've seen quite a bit on Internal Cardioversion by catheterisation but there is nothing in this article reflecting this. Would it be worth adding a sentence somewhere on this? 212.159.118.191 ( talk) 22:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Simply stated: The back is the back of the chest. I've never heard of pads being placed there. Further, if you 'Google Image' 'Cardioversion', in each picture you will see each pad being placed on the front or side of the chest; none on the back. So why say 'back'? 71.139.162.77 ( talk) 05:05, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
