Part 6: electrical therapies: automated external defibrillators, defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing: 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.

چکیده
The recommendations for electrical therapies described in this section are designed to improve survival from SCA and life-threatening arrhythmias. Whenever defibrillation is attempted, rescuers must coordinate high-quality CPR with defibrillation to minimize interruptions in chest compressions and to ensure immediate resumption of chest compressions after shock delivery. The high first-shock efficacy of newer biphasic defibrillators led to the recommendation of single shocks plus immediate CPR instead of 3-shock sequences that were recommended prior to 2005 to treat VF. Further data are needed to refine recommendations for energy levels for defibrillation and cardioversion using biphasic waveforms.

Defibrillation Plus CPR: A Critical Combination Early defibrillation is critical to survival from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) for several reasons1: the most frequent initial rhythm in out-of-hospital witnessed SCA is ventricular fibrillation (VF),2 the treatment for ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation,3 the probability of successful defibrillation diminishes rapidly over time,4 and VF te...

The importance of early, uninterrupted chest compressions is emphasised throughout these guidelines. Much greater emphasis on minimising the duration of the preshock and post-shock pauses. The continuation of compressions during charging of the defibrillator is recommended. Immediate resumption of chest compressions following defibrillation is also emphasised; in combination with continuation o...

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States and Canada. In the United States, each year 330 000 people die of coronary heart disease out of the hospital or in emergency departments. Of these, 150 000 SCAs occur out of the hospital.1,2 Despite the development of electrical defibrillation and the more recent implementation of lay rescuer defibrillation programs, t...

متن کاملImplementation of National Resuscitation Guidelines 2006.
The implementation of guidelines released by the National Resuscitation Council in 2006 involved all the main areas of resuscitation, especially basic life support and defibrillation. The emphasis was on community training, creation of simplified programmes, combining cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, and using simpler training devices. As a result, public access defibrill...
