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 ...

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 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.

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.

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.
