Why the study?
Does defibrillation threshold testing requiring multiple shocks compared to a single shock delay cerebral metabolic recovery in patients undergoing cardioverter-defibrillator implantation?
Does defibrillation threshold testing requiring multiple shocks compared to a single shock delay cerebral metabolic recovery in patients undergoing cardioverter-defibrillator implantation?
EEG recovery underestimates metabolic recovery after defibrillation tests requiring multiple shocks, indicating that cerebral oxygen uptake may remain depressed despite normalized systemic hemodynamics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Multiple shocks during DFT testing were associated with delayed EEG and cerebral metabolic recovery; leaves open whether single-shock protocols warrant prospective evaluation in ICD implantation.
Vries et al. (1998) studied this question.
