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, 1995The 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, 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 ...

Objective: Dual sequential defibrillation (DSD) — successive defibrillations with two defibrillators — offers a novel approach to refractory ventricular fibrillation (RVF) and tachycardia (VF/VT). While associated with rescue shock success, the effect of

Cardiology Clinics, 2002
The field of defibrillation is one of the most rapidly advancing areas in resuscitation. Defibrillation is also one of the most promising interventions for achieving improved survival from cardiac arrest. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the science and clinical applications of defibrillation.

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2004
Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere and at any time, often without warning. Reported survival rates for cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation are low: from 3 to 10 percent. Studies have shown that rapid defibrillation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation is the most important determinant of survival ...

The Subcutaneous Defibrillator
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012Prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains an important clinical problem. Currently, therapeutic goals for SCD prevention include identification of high risk patients and aggressively treating comorbidities underlying. However, many patients remain at increased risk despite optimal medical management (eg, coronary artery disease and ...

PAVRI, B.B., et al.: Unipolar Defibrillator? An unusual case of “unipolar” pacing and myopotential oversensing leading to an inappropriate ICD shock in a patient with an implanted defibrillator is reported. The reasons for unipolar behavior in a system using a committed bipolar device are discussed.

Different defibrillation strategies in survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Heart, 2018Background In the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the dissemination of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for prehospital defibrillation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients.

The Development of the Defibrillator
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1969Abstract I was fortunate in 1928 in being chosen a member of a team to study the effects of electric shocks on human beings.
