متن کاملBRIEF REVIEW Determinants of successful defibrillation
Ventricular defibrillation by electric counter shock is the definitive treatment for cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Ventricular defibrillation is the fundamental cornerstone to a successful outcome. As most deaths from VF occur out of hospital, often in patients without pre-existent recognised cardiac disease, the major public health issue remains the widespread applicatio...
متن کاملDeterminants of successful transthoracic defibrillation and outcome in ventricular fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE To examine factors determining defibrillation success and outcome in patients with ventricular fibrillation. DESIGN Observational prospective study of age, sex, transthoracic impedance, site of cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation duration and amplitude, primary or secondary ventricular fibrillation, aetiology, number of shocks to correct ventricular fibrillation, and drug treat...
متن کاملDefibrillation shocks produce different effects on Purkinje fibers and ventricular muscle: implications for successful defibrillation, refibrillation and postshock arrhythmia.
OBJECTIVES To understand the mechanisms of postdefibrillation arrhythmias and failed defibrillation, we studied the cellular effects of high voltage shocks on different cardiomyocytes in the dog. BACKGROUND The causes of postdefibrillation arrhythmias and unsuccessful defibrillation are not clear. METHODS High voltage shocks with voltage differentials of 9.3 to 97.6 V/cm were delivered to i...
