Drones may prove to be a more expedient means of delivering many items, but a number of research projects have demonstrated that dropping defibrillators off to heart attack victims could have ...

Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They ...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are crucial life-saving techniques that can greatly influence survival rates during emergencies involving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The ...

Despite advances in defibrillation technology, shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation remains common during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED; rapid ...

A SCHOOL has invested in life-saving equipment which will also be used to benefit the wider community. St Michael’s Preparatory School in Hadleigh Road, Leigh, has bought an automated external ...

Public-access defibrillation is known to improve survival rate in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but evidence on a population level is currently lacking. In a Japanese registry study involving 43,762 ...
