First-time evaluation of ascending compared to rectangular transthoracic defibrillation waveforms in modelled out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Aim of the study: Prognosis in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) depends on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) duration. Therefore, the optimal biphasic defibrillation waveform shows high conversion rates besides low energy. Matthew Fishler theoretically predicted it to be truncated ascending e...
