Overview

Reaffirms 2005 defibrillation strategies for immediate clinical use; leaves open optimal waveforms, energies, and sequences for targeted trials.

Structured PICO

Population
Patients requiring defibrillation (adults and children)
I
Intervention
Defibrillation and CPR strategies

The 2010 International Consensus on defibrillation reaffirms the 2005 recommendations while identifying key knowledge gaps requiring further research.

Limitations

  • Lack of high-quality, large clinical studies regarding minimal acceptable first-shock success rate, optimal biphasic waveform characteristics, optimal energy levels, and best shock strategy.
  • Lack of high-quality, large clinical studies

Cite This Study

Sunde et al. (2010) conducted a review in Cardiac arrest requiring defibrillation. Defibrillation and CPR strategies was evaluated. The 2010 International Consensus on defibrillation contains no major differences from 2005, identifying key knowledge gaps in optimal waveforms, energy levels, and shock strategies.
