A Novel Solution for the High Defibrillation Threshold in Patients with a DF-4 Lead: Adding a High Voltage Adaptor/Splitter

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
A high defibrillation threshold occurs in approximately 6% of implants. The defibrillation threshold can be improved by addition of a defibrillation lead. However, the DF-4 high energy ICD header precludes the addition of a defibrillation lead.

Effects of high-frequency biphasic shocks on ventricular vulnerability and defibrillation outcomes through synchronized virtual electrode responses.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Electrical defibrillation is a well-established treatment for cardiac dysrhythmias. Studies have suggested that shock-induced spatial sawtooth patterns and virtual electrodes are responsible for defibrillation efficacy. We hypothesize that high-frequency

The Effect of Compressor-Administered Defibrillation on Peri-shock Pauses in a Simulated Cardiac Arrest Scenario

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Coordination of the tasks of performing chest compressions and defibrillation can lead to communication challenges that may prolong time spent off the chest.

The relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy of nurses regarding early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated defibrillation in Saudi Arabia

Belitung Nursing Journal, 2021
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are the most common procedures performed by nurses as the first responders to cardiac arrest patients in the hospital setting. Therefore, nurses are demanded to have high skills for

Cellulose Isolation from Tomato Pomace: Part II—Integrating High-Pressure Homogenization in a Cascade Hydrolysis Process for the Recovery of Nanostructured Cellulose and Bioactive Molecules

Foods, 2023
This work proposes a biorefinery approach for utilizing tomato pomace (TP) through a top-down deconstructing strategy, combining mild chemical hydrolysis with high-pressure homogenization (HPH).

High-energy external defibrillation and transcutaneous pacing during MRI: feasibility and safety

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2019
Background Rapid application of external defibrillation, a crucial first-line therapy for ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest, is currently unavailable in the setting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), raising concerns about patient safety ...

Comparison of Resuscitation Outcomes Between 2‐ or 3‐Stacked Defibrillation Strategies With Minimally Interrupted Chest Compression and the Single Defibrillation Strategy: A Swine Cardiac Arrest Model

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background There is controversy over whether the number and mode of electrical shock are optimal for successful defibrillation. Methods and Results Fifty‐four pigs were randomly assigned to 3 groups. After inducing ventricular fibrillation and a 2‐minute

Drift and termination of spiral waves in optogenetically modified cardiac tissue at sub-threshold illumination

eLife, 2021
The development of new approaches to control cardiac arrhythmias requires a deep understanding of spiral wave dynamics. Optogenetics offers new possibilities for this.

Defibrillation Testing During Defibrillator Implantation [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2012
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) with high efficacy. ICDs improve mortality in patients after survived sudden cardiac death (SCD) and in patients at high risk of dying suddenly.
