Transthoracic Incremental Monophasic Versus Biphasic Defibrillation by Emergency Responders (TIMBER)
From the Departments of Medicine (P.J.K., L.A.C., M.K.C., M.O., G.N.) and Health Services (C.M.), University of Washington, Seattle. Background— Although biphasic ...
Biphasic waveforms have replaced monophasic waveforms for implantable defibrillators because of proved advantages in energy requirements, size, and weight. 101112 The incorporation of low-energy ...
Conclusions This study demonstrates the superiority of truncated biphasic waveforms over truncated monophasic waveforms for transthoracic defibrillation of swine. Biphasic waveforms should prove as ...
Dr. Richard Page answers the question: 'Something Wrong With My Defibrillator?' — -- Question: My defibrillator kept firing several times in a stretch. Is there something wrong with it? Answer ...
The 1990's heralded a new era of transthoracic defibrillation in which the rules of conventional practice no longer apply. Seeking waveform designs more efficient than the traditional monophasic ...
December 1, 2003-- New is not always better, a point convincingly illustrated by the Out-of-Hospital Rectilinear Biphasic Investigational Trial (ORBIT), which failed to show any advantage in the ...
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOH-CA) is the main cause of cardiac death, and it affects approximately 1000 Americans every day. When cardiac arrest occurs, the difference between life and death ...
