Why the study?
What is the incidence of VF/VT and delay to defibrillation during peri-transcutaneous pacing cardiac arrest?
What is the incidence of VF/VT and delay to defibrillation during peri-transcutaneous pacing cardiac arrest?
Ventricular arrhythmias cause approximately 4% of peri-TCP cardiac arrests, and pacemaker artifacts may contribute to potentially harmful delays in defibrillation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Pacemaker artifacts may delay defibrillation in peri-TCP arrest; hypothesis-generating for mitigation strategies before any practice change.
