Key result
Immediate defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation yields high success rates, whereas survival drops by 7 to 10 percent for every minute of delay.
Why the study?
Does early defibrillation improve resuscitation success in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
Population

Highlights the critical time-dependence of defibrillation success in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Rose Marie Robertson (2000) conducted an editorial in Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Defibrillation was evaluated. Immediate defibrillation for ventricular fibrillation yields high success rates, whereas survival drops by 7 to 10 percent for every minute of delay.
