BACKGROUND:In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who present with an initial shockable rhythm, a longer delay to the first shock decreases the probability of survival, often attributed to cerebral damage. Delay to first shock was defined as the time from initial emergency call until the first shock by any defibrillator.

We found that 38% of out of hospital ventricular fibrillation was due to STEMI. Much depends on the post resuscitation ECG and its evolution shortly after defibrillation.
