However, non-shockable patients treated with AAM showed better outcomes." A shockable rhythm indicates receptivity to defibrillation, while a non-shockable rhythm is treated with only CPR, often ...

The Utility of Therapeutic Hypothermia for Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome Patients With an Initial Non-Shockable Rhythm. Circulation, November 2015 DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.115.016317; ...

Researchers identified 3,960 patients in King County, Wash., who suffered a type of cardiac arrest that doesn’t respond to shock from a defibrillator, known as non-shockable cardiac arrest.

In cardiac arrest, the speed and type of treatment can literally mean life or death in the immediate term, but can also affect health outcomes after successful resuscitation.

(HealthDay)—For patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with non-shockable initial rhythm, each minute delay in epinephrine administration is associated with reduced survival and ...

In one study of over 13,000 patients with cardiac arrest, survival was as high as 35% in patients with one of the "shockable" rhythms, and less than 2% in patients with a non-shockable rhythm.

Overdose-related arrests also had lower rates of shockable first monitored arrest rhythms vs. cardiac arrests attributable to other causes (5.1% vs. 20.9%; P < .001).

"Shockable rhythm should receive immediate defibrillation and continuous chest-compression, rather than ventilatory support. However, non-shockable rhythm could benefit from oxygen delivery with AAM." ...
