Double Sequential Defibrillation in Refractory VF
Double sequential defibrillation is explored in the context of refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) in a paper discussing the differences between refractory and recurrent VF, emphasizing the importance of tailoring treatment efforts based on the type of VF. The study highlights the potential impact on advanced life support algorithms and the effectiveness of alternative defibrillation strategies like dual sequential defibrillation (DSD) for improving outcomes.
