Prehospital Emergency Care, 2019
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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The Subcutaneous Defibrillator
Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2017The transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been shown in multiple studies to be effective in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in select populations. The Achilles heel of traditional ICD technology has been the transvenous lead.

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.

Transtelephonic defibrillation
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989This study was undertaken to assess the safety and reliability of a device for transtelephonic defibrillation.The transtelephonic system consists of a patient unit and a base station. The patient unit contains a monitor-defibrillator, electrode pads, microphone, microprocessor, and DC defibrillator. The base station comprises a control panel, computer,

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
