24 lis 2022 · Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid sequential shocks from two defibrillators) and vector-change (VC) defibrillation (switching defibrillation pads to an anterior-posterior position) have been proposed as defibrillation strategies to improve outcomes in patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation.
In this review, we summarize therapeutic interventions and guidelines for providers managing patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and refractory ventricular fibrillation in prehospital and emergency settings.
3 dni temu · Introduction. Of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) presenting in ventricular fibrillation (VF), the majority require multiple shocks. 1 Guidelines recommend chest compressions be resumed immediately after the shock without a rhythm check. 2 In current practice, when VF is present at consecutive rhythm checks, it is uncertain whether previous shocks repeatedly failed to ...
8 lut 2023 · The recently published DOSE-VF trial is the first randomized controlled trial directly comparing either DSED or VC defibrillation to a common control group of standard defibrillation for adult patients remaining in refractory VF during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [9].
12 gru 2022 · Refractory ventricular fibrillation was defined as an initial presenting rhythm of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia that was still present after three consecutive rhythm analyses and standard defibrillators separated by 2-minute intervals of CPR.
22 lip 2023 · Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector‐change defibrillation (VCD) have been suggested to enhance clinical outcomes for patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) refractory of standard defibrillation (SD). Therefore, this network meta‐analysis aims to evaluate the comparative efficacy of DSED, VCD, and SD for refractory VF.
