We suggest a sequential algorithm for the detection of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) of a rate above 180 bpm, so called shockable rhythms. The built-in algorithm ...

Diagnosis of shockable rhythms leading to defibrillation remains integral to improving out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest outcomes. New machine learning techniques have emerged to diagnose arrhythmias on ...

Discover the challenges of deciding when to terminate CPR in OHCA cases. Explore a successful resuscitation case with complete neurological recovery. Learn about effective tools for resuscitating ...

Conclusions Contrary to current guidelines that prioritize immediate defibrillation for in-hospital cardiac arrest due to a shockable rhythm, one in five patients are treated with epinephrine before ...

Participants Adults aged 18 and older with an index in-hospital cardiac arrest due to an initial shockable rhythm treated with defibrillation. Interventions Administration of epinephrine before first ...
