Prehospital Double Sequential Defibrillation: A Matched Case-Control Study.
CONCLUSION: Our matched case-control study on the prehospital use of double sequential defibrillation for refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia found no evidence of associated improvement in survival to hospital admission. Our current protocol of considering prehospital double sequential defibrillation after the third conventional defibrillation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is ineffective.
