Implication

Hypothesis-generating for chemical VF reversal in canines; leaves open any role in clinical resuscitation.

Structured PICO

Population

Dogs with ventricular fibrillation produced by faradic stimulation

Intervention

Intracardiac injection of 5% potassium chloride solution (1 cc per kilogram) into both ventricular cavities, followed by 5% calcium chloride and 0.1% heparin solution with cardiac massage

Outcome

Abolition of ventricular fibrillation and restoration of a coordinated beat

Intracardiac injection of potassium chloride followed by calcium chloride and heparin with cardiac massage can reverse electrically induced ventricular fibrillation in a canine model.
