Popis: | Out–of–hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health problem, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most frequently encountered initial rhythm when cardiac disease is the cause of the arrest. It can be treated with successful defibrillation, if prompt intervention, otherwise it rapidly progresses to non–shockable rhythms, with survival rates ranging from 3 to 10%. The early defibrillation strategy led to a significant improvement in outcome; although Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are still used in |
