In appropriate electrical countershocks by an automated external defibrillator

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
A 79-year-old man who was in normal sinus rhythm with a palpable pulse was inappropriately shocked twice by a fully automated external defibrillator. The second shock resulted in ventricular tachycardia. The device then countershocked a third time, restoring normal sinus rhythm.

The Remarkable Dr. Abildgaard and Countershock

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1975
In 1775 Peter Christian Abildgaard, a Danish veterinarian and physician, conducted experiments on electrical countershock on animals. He succeeded in first rendering fowl lifeless by an electric shock and then reviving them by a countershock applied to the chest.

[Use of the esophageal electric countershock].

Kardiologiia, 1978
Transesophageal cardioversion was applied in 277 patients 296 times for arrest of cardiac arrhythmia. Paroxysmal fibrillation and flutter of the atria, and paroxysmal tachycardia were arrested in all cases, chronic atrial fibrillation in 92.4% and chronic irregular atrial flutter in 94.1% of cases.

Effects of electrical countershock on serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) isoenzyme activity

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1976
Total and MB serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity levels were measured serially in 30 patients treated with direct current electrical countershock, 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 25 normal subjects. In addition, serial determinations of total and MB CPK in serum were performed in 11 closed chest anesthetized dogs subjected to ...

TREATMENT OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS WITH SYNCHRONIZED ELECTRICAL COUNTERSHOCK.

Canadian Medical Association journal, 1996
Synchronized electrical countershock is an intriguing new method for the treatment of ectopic tachycardias. The authors applied this treatment to 20 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and, in 17 patients, sinus rhythm was restored immediately. An additional four patients with atrial flutter were successfully converted to sinus rhythm.

Treatment of presumed asystole during pre-hospital cardiac arrest: Superiority of electrical countershock

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1985
Standard drug therapy for asystole during cardiac arrest includes epinephrine, atropine, and calcium chloride (CaCl). Recent studies have shown that ventricular fibrillation (VF) can appear to be asystole when recorded from the chest surface. To determine the efficacy of these drugs and electrical countershock for asystole, a group of 83 adult ...

[15-year experience with electric countershock in auricular fibrillation].

Kardiologiia, 1982
Electro-impulse therapy of atrial fibrillation in 627 patients with rheumatic mitral disease, atherosclerotic and myocardial cardiosclerosis proves the immediately high efficacy of the method. Dispensary examination of 455 patients revealed high rate of relapse of atrial fibrillation.

Electrical cardioversion-effectiveness of quinidine prophylaxis following countershock.

California medicine, 2010
Direct current countershock was given to 46 patients with chronic atrial fibrillation of diverse causes, with successful conversion in 87 per cent of them. Patients were observed while receiving quinidine prophylaxis, with serial determination of serum quinidine levels, for up to 22 months.
