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.

Conditions

  • Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fixed lower-energy defibrillation

Every shock administered at 150 J

PROCEDURE

Escalating higher-energy defibrillation

First shock administered at 200 J, second shock at 300 J, all subsequent shocks at 360 J
