Defibrillation Strategies for Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation

Abstract BACKGROUND Despite advances in defibrillation technology, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation remains common during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid sequential shocks from two defibrillators) and vector-change (VC)..

Postcardiotomy refractory ventricular fibrillation: rescue using veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract We present a case of 7-hour ventricular fibrillation with successful use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to recovery in a 30-year-old patient with grown-up congenital heart..
