BIPHASIC Trial: a randomized comparison of fixed lower versus escalating higher energy levels for defibrillation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Ian G. Stiell, +10 more
- 27 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: The first randomized trial to compare fixed lower and escalating higher biphasic energy regimens in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and it demonstrated higher rates of ventricular fibrillation conversion and termination with an escalating higher-energy regimen for patients requiring multiple shocks is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

ESC-ERC recommendations for the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in Europe

S. G. Priori, +8 more
- 01 Mar 2004 - 
TL;DR: A critical appraisal of the studies published in the scientific literature on the use of AEDs is provided to identify the areas in which more research is needed before evidence based guidelines for the use in Europe can be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating emergency medical service performance measures

Laura A. McLay, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that locating ambulances to maximize seven and eight min response time thresholds simultaneously maximize patient survival, which results in more equitable patient outcomes, with improved patient survival rates in rural regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effects of Sex on Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes

Manabu Akahane, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that men have a higher 1-month survival rate after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest because of a higher frequency of ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia presentation compared with women.

Part 4: Adult Basic Life Support

Lippincott Williams Wilkins
- 13 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: This section summarizes BLS guidelines for lay rescuers and healthcare providers, including recognition of signs of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), heart attack, stroke, and foreign-body airway obstruction; cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); and defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Mary Pat Larsen, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1993 - 
TL;DR: A graphic model that describes survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a function of time intervals to critical prehospital interventions is developed and is useful in planning community EMS programs, comparing EMS systems, and showing how different arrival times within a system affect survival rate.

TL;DR: It has been shown perhaps for the first time that the correction of cardiac arrest outside hospital is a practicable proposition and no death has occurred in transit in a fifteen-month period.
