Double sequential defibrillation for out-of-hospital refractory ventricular fibrillation: A scoping review

Double sequential defibrillation (DSD) has been proposed as a viable treatment option for patients in refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT) out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). However, currently there is insufficient evidence to support a widespread implementation of this therapy.Study objectives.The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the current available evidence of DSD for patients with refractory VF/pVT OHCA as well as to identify gaps in the literature that may require further research.
