Combining Ventricular Fibrillation Features With Defibrillation Waveform Parameters Improves the Ability to Predict Shock Outcomes in a Rabbit Model of Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular DiseaseBackground Quantitative ventricular fibrillation (VF) analysis has the potential to optimize defibrillation by predicting shock outcomes, but its performance remains unsatisfactory.

Association between the number of prehospital defibrillation attempts and neurologic outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients without on-scene return of spontaneous circulation [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2021 Objective Delivery of prehospital defibrillation for shockable rhythms by emergency medical service providers is crucial for successful resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients.

Extended charge banking model of dual path shocks for implantable cardioverter defibrillators
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2008 Background Single path defibrillation shock methods have been improved through the use of the Charge Banking Model of defibrillation, which predicts the response of the heart to shocks as a simple resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit.
