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.

Unipolar Defibrillator?

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2001
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.

Defibrillation

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.

Pharmacologic defibrillation

Critical Care Medicine, 2002
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is generally sustained. The mechanism is, at least in part, caused by progressive accumulation of intracellular sodium and calcium ions during untreated ventricular fibrillation, which subsequently increases defibrillation threshold.

Defibrillators

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 ...
