Delayed defibrillation was also associated with a significantly lower likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (adjusted odds ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.62; P<0.001) and survival at 24 ...

Frequent use of defibrillation therapies, as seen in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), can drain device batteries and necessitate replacement surgeries, ...

Early defibrillation plays a key role in improving survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests due to ventricular fibrillation (ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrests), and the use ...

Energy reduction in defibrillation devices is an active area of research. While defibrillators are often successful at ending dangerous arrhythmias in patients, they are painful and cause damage ...

EMS time to defibrillation ≤ 15 min for ≥ 90% of calls. Units that had an existing or previous PAD program, or those with on-site medical personnel responding in ≤ 3 min of notification in ...

Omission of defibrillation testing did not significantly affect mortality or shock efficacy in most recipients of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, a new study finds.

Defibrillation will work under a specific set of conditions to re-establish regular heart rhythm, but hooking up a car battery to a dead person will do nothing.

CPR, defibrillation, heart tumor removal—and a surgeon who pioneered them all Claude Beck It was 1947, and Beck—the first professor of cardiovascular surgery not just at Western Reserve University ...
