Background. Tension pneumothorax can infrequently cause ventricular arrhythmias and increase the threshold of defibrillation. It should be suspected whenever there is difficulty in defibrillation for a ventricular arrhythmia.Purpose. To report a case of traumatic tension pneumothorax leading to ventricular tachycardia and causing defibrillator failure.Case. A 65-year-old African-American female was brought in to our emergency department complaining of dyspnea after being forced down by cops.

Abstract:

Among the implantable cardioverter defibrillator recipients, there is still a subgroup of patients in whom the defibrillation threshold is too high and the maximal shock output of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator can fail to terminate a ventricular arrhythmia. We report a new thoracoscopic minimally invasive approach to place a standard array electrode in the transverse pericardial sinus of a patient implanted with a cardiac resynchronization and defibrillation therapy device with persistent high defibrillation threshold. This approach was developed to achieve very low shock impedanc

Abstract:

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurs frequently during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and must then be terminated by electrical defibrillation. We have investigated the impact of VF/defibrillation on infarct size (IS) or area of no reflow (NR) without and with ischemic conditioning interventions. Anesthetized pigs were subjected to 60/180 min of coronary occlusion/reperfusion. VF, as identified from the ECG, was terminated by intrathoracic defibrillation. The area at risk (AAR), IS, and NR were determined by staining techniques (patent blue, triphenyltetrazolium chloride, and thioflavin

ObjectiveThe importance of access to early defibrillation for patients in cardiac arrest has been emphasised as a critical part of the chain of survival by resuscitation bodies internationally; as such defibrillation has become a key procedure for many out-of-hospital emergency healthcare providers.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator studies have established the superiority of biphasic waveforms over monophasic waveforms. However, external defibrillator studies of biphasic waveforms are not as widespread.

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess and present technical data related to resuscitation procedures that involved the application of a defibrillator for at least one shock. Specifically, we sought to distinguish two rectangular defibrillation impulses in terms of varying phase durations. The evaluation encompassed a range of defibrillation metrics and metadata, including transthoracic impedance, mean and peak currents. The results of this analysis provide valuable insights into the technical aspects of defibrillation.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) with high efficacy. ICDs improve mortality in patients after survived sudden cardiac death (SCD) and in patients at high risk of dying suddenly.

Current devices show a shock efficacy of 80–90 % for singular shocks and devices provide up to seven rescue shocks. The probability that a device doe

Little is known about the transmyocardial impedance during internal ventricular defibrillation. In a canine model, using high rate on-line digitization, random shock delivery, and titanium electrodes, we determined the relationship among voltage, current, and impedance, delivered energy, and defibrillation success within the individual and within successive defibrillation shocks. Impedance decreased with repeated defibrillation in 10 of 11 dogs. Impedance always increased during trapezoidal discharges, whereas voltage decreased. Impedance was lower with high energy-voltage shocks in all dogs.

Autonomic neural tone modulates arrhythmias and could affect the efficacy of an implantable defibrillator if defibrillation threshold is also altered by changes in neural activity. We determined the effects of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on the energy requirement for defibrillation using a sequential-pulse technique in anesthetized pigs. The doses for each drug were selected based on the results of dose-response curves. The mean defibrillation threshold was 10.2 +/- 0.65 J (mean +/- SE) in control and 10.0 +/- 0.84, 9.4 +/- 0.87 and 8.9 +/- 0.89 J during phenylephrine

Defibrillation is a critical step in the treatment of cardiac arrest as it can be the only way to restore a normal heart rhythm and save the life of the individual. However, it is important to note that defibrillation is only effective if it is performed quickly and in conjunction with other life-saving measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Abstract:

Newly developed biphasic waveforms significantly lower defibrillation threshold in animal and clinical models. However, underlying mechanisms and optimum waveform shape are unknown. Defibrillation shocks produce dysfunction; safety factor, the ratio of shock intensity inducing dysfunction to that producing stimulation of partially refractory cells, is an important parameter for defibrillator waveforms. We determined dysfunction and safety factor strength-duration curves for symmetric and asymmetric (50% undershoot) monophasic and biphasic rectangular (0%-tilt) waveforms. Dysfunction threshold,

Abstract:

Since more than a half century, cardiac pacing and defibrillation represent a field in constant evolution, and they have shown some great technological advances from its conception to its methods of insertion. In this review, the recent developments about the accesses for pacemakers and ICD will be described: the axillary and the femoral vein. The His bundle pacing and the advantages of the entirely subcutaneous defibrillator will also be presented.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This is a case report regarding the use of non-conventional methods to perform internal cardiac defibrillation on a trauma patient in an austere environment. The patient was a polytrauma causality of an improvised explosive device who arrived to a far forward resuscitative surgical team during a recent armed conflict. After arrival, the patient lost pulses. An emergency resuscitative thoracotomy was performed, and the patient was noted to have ventricular fibrillation on direct cardiac visualization. In the absence of standard surgical defibrillation paddles, the team applied external

Abstract:

AbstractThere is controversy over the “ideal” electrical energy needed for defibrillation. Furthermore, too massive an electrical shock decreases the possibility of survival by direct damage to an already ailing myocardium and too little energy results in further deterioration of myocardial physiology and metabolism. Therefore, delivery of an erroneous amount of electrical energy decreases the likelihood of successful defibrillation and survival. All 190 defibrillators within 3 medical school hospitals were investigated. Each defibrillator was analyzed at four selected settings ranging from 10
