Paramedics are often the first healthcare professionals to manage these situations; however, data on their exposure to ICD\u2010related emergencies and access to appropriate equipment remain limited. This study aimed to describe Polish paramedics\u2019 self\u2010reported experience with ICD\u2010related emergencies and the availability of ICD deactivation magnets in prehospital settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive cross\u2010sectional survey was conducted among Polish paramedics between April and November 2024 using an anonymous online questionnaire. The survey assessed demographic and professional characteristics, self\u2010reported exposure to ICD\u2010related emergencies, perceived familiarity with selected ICD\u2010related concepts, and access to ICD deactivation magnets. Data were analyzed descriptively, with exploratory subgroup analyses performed for selected variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 340 paramedics participated in the survey. Most respondents reported having assisted patients experiencing ICD discharges, including during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Self\u2010reported familiarity with ICD\u2010related terminology and ECG features varied across items. Only 7.93% of respondents reported access to an ICD deactivation magnet in their ambulance, most often self\u2010provided rather than officially supplied. Greater professional experience was associated with more frequently reported exposure to ICD\u2010related emergencies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study suggests that ICD\u2010related emergencies are commonly encountered in prehospital practice, while access to ICD deactivation magnets remains limited. The findings reflect self\u2010reported experience and perceived familiarity rather than objectively assessed competence and highlight potential system\u2010level considerations for prehospital emergency care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/emmi\/2737258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]],"date-time":"2026-05-28T11:16:31Z","timestamp":1779966991000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["ICD\u2010Related Emergencies in Prehospital Care: A Descriptive Survey of Self\u2010Reported Experience and Equipment Availability Among Polish Paramedics"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0092-8293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Telec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0970-4664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"K\u0142osiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2327-1970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Dimmich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6156-5704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Szczygie\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7285-6821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Krzemi\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6313-4635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"W\u00f3jcik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6064-6458","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artur","family":"Baszko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehv316"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_2","first-page":"923","article-title":"Implantowane Kardiowertery-Defibrylatory","volume":"12","author":"Markowska E.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Post\u0119py Nauk Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_2","first-page":"128","article-title":"Co Lekarz Praktyk Powinien Wiedzie\u0107 O Automatycznym Kardiowerterze-Defibrylatorze?","volume":"11","author":"Mazurek M.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Chor Serca Naczy\u0144"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resuscitation.2014.03.278"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10903127.2019.1599475"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.4960260303"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2016.02.060"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hlc.2018.10.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2007.02.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"I In.
