Talk:Macroshock

Defense of Deletion

Macro shock is a corollary of microshock, they both must remain. What is missing from this page is numbers, such as Volts, and Amps. Macroshock requires a certain amperage to be considered macroshock. If the macroshock is the medical definition that flows through the heart, then how much amperage and at what part of the heart cycle does the damage occur. This term is a taught and tested term in bioengeering and medicine. However, the inconsistancy must be addressed in a wikipedia article. The term has not yet been settled upon in the medical/engineering community and so all must be supported until a consensus has been attained. The term is relatively new to the world, only having been used in the past 50 years, and only becoming popular in the past 20. --eximo (talk) 18:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

This anonymous scientist-cum-helper agrees, and I did what I could, but physiology's not really my strongest knowledge base when it comes to these sorts of terms. I also noticed a lack of numbers and amperage, voltage, etc. on this page. I do not know the numbers myself, but I did do a little cleanup and add some very basic mentions of amperage and voltage to jump off of, as well as linking to the High Voltage and Ampere pages.

That said, should this and Microshock really be their own pages? I feel like the terms are too new, with too little information about them yet as eximo pointed out, and therefore there's not enough info on them for them to each have their own pages. I propose we either merge the pages into sub-discussions under Electrical Shock, or at least put them together on a page of terms used to describe electrical injuries. 2602:30A:C00F:6900:9917:760:FD0:C80 (talk) 06:52, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
