Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF) remains a leading cause of unexpected death in the Western world. It has been estimated that chances for survival from SCA decrease approximately 7% to 10% with each passing minute and that survival rates after 12 minutes are only 2% to 5%.
  • Page 125 CU-ER3 Operator’s Manual _ver 2.00 When the Defibrillation shock is delivered, current flow is affected by transthoracic impedance, the body’s resistance from electrode to heart. Impedance is dependent on the anatomy of the chest, skin surface, air in the chest, hair, fat and bone, as well as the size and location of the defibrillation electrodes.

[1], [2], [3], [4] The defibrillation efficacy of the 150-J biphasic waveform was superior to that of the 200-J to 360-J conventional escalating-energy monophasic waveforms for 115 patients who presented with VF.
