| Popis: | Introduction: Refractory ventricular fibrillation is not uncommon and can be extremely difficult to abort. There is currently no standard guideline to effectively manage this electrical storm. Case Presentation: We hereby present the first successful reported use of dual simultaneous external defibrillation on a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation in Hong Kong. Conclusion: Given the numerous successful cases with intact neurology in literature, dual simultaneous external defibrillation should be employed in indicated patients. |
