Slowing of electrical activity in ventricular fibrillation is not associated with increased defibrillation energies in the isolated rabbit heart

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
Prolonged out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) arrests are associated with reduced ECG dominant frequency (DF) and diminished defibrillation success. Partial reversal of ischaemia increases ECG DF and improves defibrillation outcome.

Simulation‐based team‐training in acute stroke: Is it safe to speed up?

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background In acute ischemic stroke (AIS), rapid treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is crucial for good clinical outcome. Weekly simulation‐based team‐training of the stroke treatment team was implemented, resulting in faster treatment times.
