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,

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.

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2009
In the United States, 250,000 people die from a cardiac arrest every year. Despite a well established emergency medical response system, survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains poor in United States cities. Paramount to achieving successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest victim is provision of early defibrillation.

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.

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 ...

Transvenous Biventricular Defibrillation Can Improve Defibrillation Threshold
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2004A case report of a patient with a high defibrillation threshold at initial implantation that was improved by the insertion of a shocking coil in the left lateral cardiac vein is discussed.

Technological advances have increased life expectancy and improved quality of life for patients with heart disease. A new device, called the wearable defibrillator, is designed to provide monitoring and defibrillation capability for patients who have had an infarct and those awaiting heart transplantation.
