Joshua Lupton, M.D., has no memory of his own cardiac arrest in 2016. He only knows that first responders resuscitated his heart with a shock from a defibrillator, ultimately leading to his complete ...

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust has become the first ambulance service in the UK to deploy live video technology ...

Using light pulses as a model for electrical defibrillation, scientists developed a method to assess and modulate the heart function. The research team has thus paved the way for an efficient and ...

For patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, use of double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) or vector-change (VC) defibrillation results in ...

Figure 1. Detailed analysis of damped wave (DW) propagation. (a) 3-D presentation of signal upstroke. The arrows indicate the DW with decaying propagation (black) and the growing wave (white). (b) ...

Bystander aid using CPR and a defibrillator can be critically important for saving lives when someone has a cardiac arrest -- even when an ambulance arrives quickly, say researchers. A new study finds ...

Cardiac device therapy has significantly evolved since the introduction of the first implantable pacemaker and the subsequent development of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). ICDs are ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Bystander use of an automated external defibrillator after cardiac arrest improves survival odds at 30 days.

A new observational study suggests the position in which responders initially place the two defibrillator pads on the body may make a significant difference in returning spontaneous blood circulation ...
