Knowledge of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Purpose and Function Among Nurses in the United States

Conclusions: The ICD knowledge of US nurses in 2015 was similar to that reported in the United Kingdom in 2004, with limited knowledge about the complexities of modern ICD devices. Such deficits in knowledge may affect the quality of education provided to ICD recipients in preparing them to live safely with an ICD.
