Delayed defibrillation was also associated with a significantly lower likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (adjusted odds ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.49 to 0.62; P<0.001) and survival at 24 ...

Frequent use of defibrillation therapies, as seen in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), can drain device batteries and necessitate replacement surgeries, ...

Early defibrillation plays a key role in improving survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests due to ventricular fibrillation (ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrests), and the use ...
