A Survey of Academic Neonatologists on Neonatal Electrical Cardioversion and Defibrillation
American Journal of Perinatology, 2021Objective This study aimed to assess neonatologists' experience and comfort with neonatal electrical cardioversion or defibrillation (EC-D). Study Design Electronic surveys were distributed to academic neonatologists affiliated with 12 Midwest academic ...

Electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
Cardiology Clinics, 2004External direct current cardioversion remains the most common and effective method for restoration of normal sinus rhythm in patients with persistent AF. The development of biphasic defibrillators allows for higher success rates of conversion using standard energy levels.

Electrical cardioversion after amiodarone administration
American Heart Journal, 1992The possible effect of amiodarone administration on the effectiveness and complications of electrical cardioversion of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias has not been properly assessed. To investigate the effects of amiodarone on cardioversion, we performed 130 electrical cardioversion procedures in 116 patients who were receiving long-term amiodarone ...

Sedation with Midazolam for Electrical Cardioversion
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2007Background: Electrical cardioversion (ECV) usually requires the assistance of the anesthesiology team. To avoid this dependence, previous studies have considered the use of sedation with benzodiazepines administered by cardiologists. We describe our experience with intravenous Midazolam during cardioversion.

Electrical Interventions in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Cardioversion
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1983Although there are complications associated with cardioversion, they are relatively infrequent and usually of small magnitude compared with the primary disease. Cardioversion is an invaluable part of the emergency physician's armamentarium.

Ambulatory electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
International Journal of Cardiology, 2006Elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation is an effective and safe cardiac procedure in selected patients. It is most often performed during a short hospital stay or in an outpatient setting of a hospital. In a retrospective analysis, we report our experience on electrical cardioversions in private practice without a hospital stand-by ...

Safety and efficacy of a cardiologist-only approach to deep sedation for electrical cardioversion
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019Aims Electrical cardioversion is still the preferred method to restore sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main disadvantage is that electrical cardioversion requires deep sedation, generally administered by anaesthesiologists, for ...

Factors affecting transthoracic impedance during electrical cardioversion
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988Successful cardioversion is dependent on the delivery of sufficient current. Current is determined by energy and transthoracic impedance (TTI). Our purpose was to assess factors affecting TTI in humans. Twenty-eight patients undergoing elective cardioversion were monitored up to 48 hours after shock delivery. We also studied 10 normal subjects, who did
