Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Dermatitis is a frequent complication associated with various medical devices.
  • Known dermatologic risks exist for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, cardiac pacemakers, and electrocardiography electrodes.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old male patient presented with a skin reaction.
  • The reaction was linked to direct current cardioversion.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of dermatitis specifically linked to direct current cardioversion.
  • The patient experienced contact dermatitis.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for unexpected dermatologic reactions from medical procedures.
  • Suggests the need for awareness of cardioversion as a potential cause of contact dermatitis.
  • Informs clinicians about a rare but possible adverse event in patients undergoing cardioversion.
