Summary Introduction Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been shown to significantly improve outcome in sudden cardiac arrest in children. In view of this, most emergency medicine services deliver telephone instructions for carrying out

Introduction Defibrillation of patients connected to medical equipment that is not defibrillation proof risks ineffective defibrillation and harm to the operator as a result of aberrant electrical pathways taken by the defibrillation current. Many re

Summary Introduction Current Advanced Medical Priority Dispatch System (AMPDS) V.11.1 telephone instructions are limited in their ability to produce correctly performed basic life support. The current telephone instructions were modified in an attemp

Objective: Transthoracic impedance (TTI) is a factor determining the magnitude of the transmyocardial current during external defibrillation. Minimising TTI increases the chances of successful defibrillation. Most external defibrillation paddles are

Objective: Defibrillation pads are used routinely at both cardiac arrests and cardioversion procedures. There are currently no evidence-based guidelines on how often pads should be replaced, although it has been suggested that they should be changed

Objective: In order to minimise transthoracic impedance (TTI) during defibrillation, water-based pads are used to improve conductivity between metal defibrillation paddles and skin. Subjectively, these pads appear to dry very quickly; an effect that

Objective: To determine whether the amount of heat (thermal energy) used actively to rewarm patients on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was a better indicator of adequate rewarming from hypothermic CPB than core temperature. Design: Prospective study. S

This paper details the development and application of a multi-channel, general purpose, lightweight, portable monitor. The monitor is constructed with separate analogue and digital circuitry so that a dedicated analogue board may be developed for eac

Summary Introduction Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly improves the outcome from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and is therefore encouraged by offering telephone instructions to the bystander. The effectiveness of this techniqu

Introduction: Firm paddle force during defibrillation lowers transthoracic impedance (TTI) and increases transmyocardial current, increasing the chances of successful cardioversion. Current protocols recommend that if defibrillation using the anterio
