Current offers limited advantage over energy in canine defibrillation; leaves open human dose-response utility.
Does transcardiac current offer an advantage over energy when applying a dose response method for defibrillation in dogs?
When resistance does not change, transcardiac current offers limited advantage over energy when applying a dose response method for defibrillation.
Wesley et al. (1993) studied Transcardiac defibrillation (n=16). Current defibrillation threshold method vs. Energy defibrillation threshold method was evaluated on Correlation coefficients (r) associated with nonlinear logistic regression analysis for normalized current and energy. Transcardiac current offered limited advantage over energy when applying a dose response method for defibrillation, with differences in correlation coefficients explained by the dose range tested.
