A member asked:
How does cold water affect someone with a defibrillator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold water: Are you asking about drinking cold water or being immersed in it? If immersion, how cold are you talking about? What's the patients history who has the ICD? Just not a simple question with the little information.
