Clinical Trial: Early Double Sequential Defibrillation in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest

U.S., Sept. 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07174986) titled 'Early Double Sequential Defibrillation in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest' on Sept. 03.

Brief Summary: Some of the patients affected by Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ventricular fibrillation (VF)/ventricular tachycardia (VT) do not respond to initial defibrillation. The survival decreases with number of defibrillations required to terminate VF/VT. In 2022, one prospective cluster randomized trial showed increased survival among (OHCA) patients in refractory VF using Double Sequential Defibrillation (DSD). If DSD can increase survival among all patients in VF that dont respond to one defibrillation, i.e. before it has be...
