Why the study?
Does an escalating higher-energy biphasic defibrillation regimen improve conversion rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients compared to a fixed lower-energy regimen?
Does an escalating higher-energy biphasic defibrillation regimen improve conversion rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients compared to a fixed lower-energy regimen?
An escalating higher-energy biphasic defibrillation regimen improves ventricular fibrillation conversion and termination rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients requiring multiple shocks compared to a fixed lower-energy regimen.
