Despite advances in defibrillation technology, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation remains common during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid ...
Among patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF), survival to hospital discharge was more frequent with double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector-change (VC) ...
Defibrillators and pacemakers help the heart maintain a regular rhythm. Defibrillators deliver a shock if the heart goes into arrhythmia. Pacemakers use electrical impulses to keep the heart from ...
Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They ...
