Which outcome occurs when a cardiac defibrillator with paddle electrodes positioned asymmetrically generates a pulsed electric potential?

💡 Explanation

Increased skin burn risk becomes higher because asymmetrical electrode placement causes localized electric field concentration near the anode, activating joule heating; therefore burns are more likely at the anode, rather than uniform stimulation or decreased arrhythmic potential.
