As stated in the latest guideline of the American Heart Association (AHA, 2010), healthcare providers who treat cardiac arrest in hospital should use the defibrillator or other facilities with automated external defibrillators to provide immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Defibrillation plays an important role in restoring normal electrical rhythm and natural pacemaker control to the heart from chaotic heart rhythm such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. This dissertation aims to identify the best evidence and develop an evidence-based guideline of defibrillation for cardiac arrest patients. The objectives of this thesis are to conduct a search of available literatures on defibrillation, mainly focusing on the defibrillation waveform and energy level, perform a critical appraisal on the literature, establish tables of evidence, and develop recommendations and defibrillation protocol for cardiac arrest patients. A systematic search was performed using four electronic databases, including PubMed, Ovid Medicine, CINAHL and the journal Resuscitation. Six randomized controlled studies were selected from thousands of related studies which fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this dissertation. Data were extracted by tables of evidence and critical appraisal was performed. Also, the level of evidence for each study was graded according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) framework. By synthesizing the data from the six selected studies, the biphasic waveform with 200J as the first shock energy and 200J-300J-360J as subsequent shocks was shown to help to achieve more desirable clinical outcomes to cardiac patients. The implementation potential, including transferability, feasibility and cost/ benefit ratio of the innovation, was assessed, and the evidence-based practice protocol are beneficial for cardiac arrest patients. Also, a comprehensive implementation plan was demonstrated by discussing communication between different stakeholders and transitions the practice from initiation to guiding and sustaining stage. Pilot testing would be carried out to explore any unexpected technical and logistic issues that could be avoided in the full-scale implementation of the innovation. A full evaluation plan concerning patient outcomes, healthcare provider outcomes and system outcomes would then formulated and demonstrated in the end of this dissertation.

Book Synopsis Device Therapy in Heart Failure by : William H. Maisel
Download or read book Device Therapy in Heart Failure written by William H. Maisel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heart failure affects over 5 million patients in the United States alone, and is a chronic and debilitating disease. While a number of pharmacologic therapies have shown varying degrees of effectiveness, many recent advances in the treatment of heart failure has focused on device based therapies. In Device Therapy in Heart Failure, William H. Maisel and a panel of authorities on the use and implementation of device based therapies provide a comprehensive overview of the current and developing technologies that are used to treat heart failure. Individual chapters provide an in-depth analysis of devices such as CRT’s and ICD’s, while broader topics such as the pathophysiology of heart failure and its current medical therapies are also discussed. Additional topics include Pacing and Defibrillation for Atrial Arrhythmias, Atrial Fibrillation Ablation, and Percutaneous Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease.

Book Synopsis Cardiac Defibrillation by : Damir Erkapic
Download or read book Cardiac Defibrillation written by Damir Erkapic and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmia play a prominent role in mortality in our era. One of the biggest milestones in the therapy of ventricular arrhythmias was the invention of cardiac defibrillation. There were several important developments in the last decades, making nowadays automated external and internal defibrillators widely available. However, the rapid evolution and high differentiation of available options presents a challenge to be kept "up-to-date". With this book, we would like to review the actual guidelines and give practical advices concerning of indications in cardiomyopathy patients, possible contraindications and complications, the perioperative management including anticoagulation and antibiotics, and the programming and follow-up of defibrillator devices.

Book Synopsis Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.

Book Synopsis Current Indications for the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator by : Dirk Böcker

This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, well-known physicians, Bocker, Eckardt and Breithardt have put together a succinct and focused book that compliments the CATA Series well. Implantation of defibrillators has evolved dramatically since its introduction by Mirowski in 1980. Technological improvements in devices and leads included a gradual reduction in the size of the device, the introduction of the endocardial approach in 1988, the biphasic waveform and antitachycardia pacing in 1991, pectoral implantation in 1995, inclusion of DDD pacing in 1996 and the delivery of atrial therapies in 1998. Since the first implantation, a huge body of information on the impact of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) on prognosis has become available, first as observational studies and later as prospective randomized trials. At the present time, there is a large evidence base from the several ICD trials, although it was not always certain that such a large body of ICD evidence would accumulate.
