Tachyarrhythmias and Defibrillation
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2008Although cardiac arrhythmias less commonly cause hemodynamic compromise in children than in adults, prompt recognition and treatment of arrhythmias remain an important part of pediatric resuscitation because of the availability of specific, effective therapies.

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2011
The place of defibrillation in the chain of survival is paramount and this review covers advances in this aspect of resuscitation over the past 18 months.The main advance is the publication of 2010 European Resuscitation Council guidelines of which defibrillation is a key aspect.

Immediate Defibrillation or Defibrillation After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Prehospital Emergency Care, 2011This study aimed to determine whether short cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by emergency medical services before defibrillation (CPR first) has a better outcome than immediate defibrillation followed by CPR (shock first) in patients with ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pulseless VT) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.We ...

A megawatt defibrillator for transchest defibrillation of heavy subjects
Medical & Biological Engineering, 1973The design and performance characteristics of a high-energy (5000J) defibrillator are described. The instrument was constructed for the purpose of obtaining strength duration curves for transchest defibrillation of very heavy subjects. To date, the heaviest subject that has been defibrillated is a 270 kg horse.

Currently most implanted pacing and defibrillation systems monitor and treat inappropriate cardiac rhythms. In general, these inappropriate rhythms result in cardiac outputs that are inadequate to meet metabolic demands, and thus can be life-threatening.

Abstract Cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are used to stimulate cardiac muscle directly. The pacemaker corrects for abnormalities in the heart rate (this can be fast or slow). Defibrillators are used to restore a fibrillating heart or tachycardia, to sinus rhythm.

History of cardiac defibrillation is characterized by a relatively long time-lag between the initial discovery of the phenomenon and its successful clinical application. It is also punctuated with gaps, where discoveries were set aside due to lack of scientific understanding, resource availability, etc. – to be repeated years later, after some new leap

There is much evidence that defibrillation is the most effective treatment for cardiac arrest caused by ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, but only where automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are installed and staff are trained to use them.
