A recent case has highlighted the extraordinary potential of a novel intervention: triple-sequential defibrillation. This groundbreaking technique was used to save the life of a 24-year-old male who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with refractory ventricular fibrillation. does not make clinical or medical decisions.

The paramedics achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ALCS), and Intubation. Defibrillation is the treatment of choice in these cases but does not often result in sustained ROSC ( Kudenchuk et al 2006). Many of these OHCAs are due to ventricular fibrillation or pulseless VT.

The patient received 1 mg of epinephrine IV x2 with conversion of his rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF) for which he was defibrillated twice in the field. The patient is moved over to the stretcher and connected to the monitors and defibrillator. What would your next steps be? His point-of-care labs return with a potassium of 3.4

With respect to timing, for cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm, it may be reasonable to administer epinephrine after initial defibrillation attempts have failed. Consider administering epinephrine after defibrillation in those with shockable rhythms. COR 2b, LOE B-R. COR 2b, LOE B-R. COR 3, No benefit, LOE B-R. COR 2a, LOE B-NR.

She was unable to be defibrillated but was cannulated and placed on ECMO in our Emergency Department (ECLS - extracorporeal life support). After good ECMO flow was established, she was successfully defibrillated. Here is a case of ECMO defibrillation with near shark fin that was due to proximal LAD occlusion.

This could range from basic life support, typically managed by EMTs, to more advanced life support provided by paramedics and other medical specialists. This equipment ranges from basic first aid supplies to sophisticated devices like defibrillators, oxygen therapy units, and advanced airway management tools.

In Basic Life Support (BLS) emergencies, a single EMS provider can not deliver optimum care, such as when trying to hold direct pressure on a bleeding wound, while preparing bandages, to stop bleeding. In Advanced Life support (ALS) emergencies, a “single” paramedic or ER doctor can not deliver necessary care.

Cardiac arrest was called and advanced life support was undertaken for this patient. She spontaneously converted (Defibrillation was not performed). Most such rhythms in the setting of ischemia are VF and will not convert without defibrillation. After about 90 seconds of chest compressions she awoke.

I recerted CPR, ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) late in December. For all the fancy changes over the year, the bottom line has always been to provide good CPR compressions and timely defibrillation. Pediatric defibrillation doses should be 2j/kg, 4j/kg.
