NCT ID:
NCT00212992
Brief Summary:
This study will compare the effect of constant low-level energy \[150 joules\] to an escalating energy \[200-300-360 joules\] regimen of biphasic waveform defibrillation on multiple patient outcomes.
Detailed Description:
This pilot, which will enroll 200 subjects, will allow a reasonable estimate of effect size and this will, in turn, allow for the accurate design and planning of a definitive randomized controlled trial. The following outcomes will be evaluated:
1. Important Clinical Outcomes:
* Successful conversion,
* Resuscitation to one hour,
* Survival to hospital discharge,
* Neurological function, and
* Quality of life.
2. Process Outcomes:
* Number of shocks required,
* Recurrences of VF, and
* Responsiveness to varying periods of pulselessness.
3. Adverse Outcomes:
* Myocardial damage.
