The 1990's heralded a new era of transthoracic defibrillation in which the rules of conventional practice no longer apply. Seeking waveform designs more efficient than the traditional monophasic ...
A man who climbed Mount Everest to install a defibrillator there says the device wound up saving a woman’s life just three weeks afterward. David Sullivan, 62, made the journey to the Himalayas to ...

Transthoracic Incremental Monophasic Versus Biphasic Defibrillation by Emergency Responders (TIMBER)
From the Departments of Medicine (P.J.K., L.A.C., M.K.C., M.O., G.N.) and Health Services (C.M.), University of Washington, Seattle. Background— Although biphasic ...
Biphasic waveforms have replaced monophasic waveforms for implantable defibrillators because of proved advantages in energy requirements, size, and weight. 101112 The incorporation of low-energy ...
The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a life-saving device designed for people to defibrillate patients who collapse unexpectedly after experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by delivering a ...
You are dispatched for chest pain in a 54-year-old male. You arrive on scene and find your patient sitting in a recliner in the living room of the residence. He appears in obvious distress. He is pale ...
Conclusions This study demonstrates the superiority of truncated biphasic waveforms over truncated monophasic waveforms for transthoracic defibrillation of swine. Biphasic waveforms should prove as ...
