Defibrillation

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1988
Defibrillation has emerged as the single most effective intervention for resuscitation of patients from cardiac arrest. This article reviews the electrophysiologic basis of defibrillation, and ways to increase the effectiveness of counter-shocks, particularly for refractory ventricular fibrillation.

Transseptal Defibrillation Is Superior for Transvenous Defibrillation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1995
The conventional electrode configuration of current internal defibrillation systems most commonly use superior vena caval (SVC) or combined SVC and subcutaneous (SC) electrodes as anode, and right ventricular apex (HVA) electrode as cathode. We have demonstrated earlier that the septal mass is important for defibrillation.

Defibrillation and Cardioversion

Critical Care Clinics, 1992
To 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 ...
