Simultaneous Comparison of Many Triphasic Defibrillation Waveforms
Biphasic defibrillation waveforms are now accepted as being more effective at terminating ventricular fibrillation (VF) than monophasic waveforms. If two phases are better than one, this naturally leads to the hypothesis that additional phases improve efficacy. This study tests the hypothesis by adding one additional phase. We examined the efficacy of 18 different triphasic waveforms simultaneo...
متن کاملVentricular defibrillation with triphasic waveforms.
BACKGROUND It has been reported that triphasic defibrillation waveforms cause less myocardial injury than biphasic waveforms. This study compared the defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) of triphasic and biphasic waveforms. METHODS AND RESULTS ++DFTs were determined for a transvenous lead system and a 300-microF-capacitor defibrillator. In 8 pigs (group 1), DFTs were determined for 5 triphasic wa...
متن کاملImproved safety factor for triphasic defibrillator waveforms.
Newly developed biphasic waveforms improve defibrillation efficacy both by reduction of defibrillation threshold and by amelioration of shock-induced dysfunction depending on the relative shape of the first and second pulses. Each of these independent effects improves the waveform's safety factor, the ratio between the shock intensity that produces a specific degree of postshock dysfunction and...
متن کاملOptimization of biphasic waveforms for human nonthoracotomy defibrillation.
BACKGROUND Biphasic waveforms reduce defibrillation threshold (DFT) in a wide variety of models. Although there are several human studies of long-duration, high-tilt biphasic waveform defibrillation, the specific biphasic waveform shape required to achieve optimal DFT reduction is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This study tested the effect of single capacitor biphasic waveform tilt modification...
متن کاملTransthoracic Ventricular Defibrillation with Triangular and Trapezoidal Waveforms
From 7,200 fibrillation-defibrillation episodes in anesthetized dogs, the effectiveness of 6 classes of unidirectional shocks in reversing ventricular fibrillation of 30-sec duration was determined. The shocks lasted for 1 to 256 msec. Three waveforms (ascending ramp triangular, descending ramp triangular, and trapezoidal) were studied at peak currents of 10 amp and 20 amp. Families of curves o...
