Defibrillation and Cardioversion
Critical Care Clinics, 1992To optimize the success of defibrillation, the clinician needs to minimize impedance, choose the proper energy level, apply the proper interface, select the appropriate paddle size, and deliver the shock at the earliest possible time. Other factors that may contribute to effective defibrillation include defibrillation during exhalation, maintenance of ...

THE conversion of cardiac arrhythmias by directcurrent countershock has become widely accepted but has usually required the use of general anesthesia, with its attendant hazards and practical problems. The last 15 patients undergoing cardioversion in our laboratory have been prepared for electric shock with a single intravenous injection of diazepam ...

Abstract Diazepam has been used to an increasing extent in cardioversion, since avoiding general anaesthesia simplifies the procedure. The present study concerns the effect of diazepam on BP and blood gases in 13 cases of cardioversion. A moderate fall of both systolic and diastolic BP occurred. The arterial pO2 and pCO2 did not change significantly.

Cardioversion and defibrillation
American Heart Journal, 1980The use of electrical energy for the immediate treatment of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias is practical and easily applied. The method, though simple, is the most effective method for terminating cardiac arrhythmias and is associated with only a low risk if properly employed. In symptomatic patients, the utilization of cardioversion reduces patient
