Abstract Su507: Occurrence of Fibrillation in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients Presenting in a Non-shockable Rhythm when Treated with an Automated External Defibrillator

Circulation

Background:Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who are initially treated with an automated external defibrillator (AED) and present in a non-shockable rhythm never receive a shock. The AEDs were the first defibrillator on scene either in home, in public access or by a BLS team.

New VAs during AHF have previously identified patients with higher in-hospital and 60-day morbidity and mortality. Risk stratification and criteria/best time point for coronary intervention and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, however, are still controversial topics in this difficult clinical setting.

The First 60 Minutes of a Heart Attack: The Golden Hour

Wellnest

The Golden Hour post the Myocardial infarction (MI) It is a matter of great concern that 50% of individuals experiencing an acute heart attack pass away before reaching the hospital. The abnormal heart rhythms can further lead to death because of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
