Refractory ventricular tachycardia terminated by electric countershock
Abstract A case of persistent ventricular tachycardia terminated by alternating current countershock is presented. The importance of electric countershock as a means of controlling refractory ventricular tachycardia in dire situations is discussed.

Ventricular fibrillation successfully treated by external electric countershock
Abstract A 73 year old man with ventricular fibrillation was successfully treated with external electric countershock. The feasibility of effective external cardiac massage followed by defibrillation through the external application of electric countershock is illustrated.

Ventricular Tachycardia Treated with External Electric Countershock
ABSTRACT VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA is usually adequately controlled by various medications—procainamide hydrochloride and quinidine being the most effective. Recently external electric countershock has been recommended for patients failing to respond to drugs.1 This is a report of a man with a recent myocardial infarction who developed refractory ...

Further Application of Electric Countershock in Ventricular Tachycardia
THE EFFICACY of external electric countershock in the termination of ventricular tachycardia has been confirmed. These reports are concerned with medical patients in whom the arrhythmia varied in duration from 9 hours to 22 days, and circulatory collapse, congestive failure, and resistance to drug therapy called for more immediately effective measures.

Termination of Ventricular Fibrillation in Man by Externally Applied Electric Countershock
VENTRICULAR fibrillation is usually a rapidly fatal arrhythmia that may occur in cardiac patients, in any patient under anesthesia and in drowning and electrocution. In cardiac patients it is a frequent cause of sudden death in the course of coronary-artery disease, a well recognized mechanism of Stokes–Adams attacks, an uncommon toxic reaction to ...

Use of External Electric Countershock in the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia
ELECTRIC countershock applied to the closed chest has been successfully used to terminate ventricular fibrillation and prefibrillatory ventricular tachycardia. 1-3 Generally, this technique has been employed as an emergency measure in the unconscious patient with Adams-Stokes disease in the absence of other therapeutic alternatives. No reports exist on
