No Benefit From Shock Delay, Device Use in Cardiac-Arrest
Marlene Busko
Authors and Disclosures
September 1, 2011 (Ottawa, Ontario, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin) — A trial of almost 10,000 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest found they were not more likely to survive with good neurological function if they received three minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before defibrillation or if they received CPR using an impedance-threshold device (ITD). Thus, there is no need to delay defibrillation in cardiac arrest, but use of the ITD device in CPR requires further research, the investigators say [1,2].
The study, based on results of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) Prehospital Resuscitation Impedance Valve and Early Versus Delayed Analysis (PRIMED) trial, is published in two articles in the September 1, 2011 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
