Defibrillation probability and impedance change between shocks during resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Resuscitation, 07/10/09
Walker RG et al. - Impedance change between consecutive shocks is minimal and inconsistent. Therefore, to increase current of a subsequent shock requires an increase of the energy setting. Distribution of failed shocks is far from random. First shock defibrillation failure is often predictive of low efficacy for subsequent shocks.
