Optimizing defibrillation pulses to 4-10 ms with ~30 μF capacitors may reduce energy needs; leaves open clinical translation pending prospective validation.
Theoretical calculations suggest that optimizing defibrillation pulse duration to 4-10 msec and using smaller output capacitors (~30 microF) minimizes energy requirements and avoids refibrillating effects.
W. Irnich (1995) studied this question.
