Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This inhospital study aims to compare the efficacy of high-versus low-energy biphasic shocks in order to determine the optimal level for defibrillation. Time is the essence when attending to a VF patient. Hence, it is important to determine the optimal amount of defibrillation energy that should be delivered at first shock, thereby increasing the patient's chances of survival. In addition, this study provides an opportunity to evaluate the impact on myocardial integrity/function of different levels of defibrillation energy in an inhospital clinical environment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, randomised study to be conducted in the Emergency Medicine Departments and Cardiology Departments of four major hospitals, viz. Singapore General Hospital, National University Hospital, Changi General Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The four hospitals were selected as they generally handle the most patients experiencing ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the inhospital setting in this country. The study will include patients with cardiac arrest, who have a shockable rhythm (VF and pulseless VT) and aged 21 years and above. Patients who have received defibrillation pre-hospital will also be included if they are still in VF at time of arrival at the hospital.

Patients will be administered one of the following:

* Defibrillation with progressive high-energy biphasic shocks using the Medtronic Physio-Control LifePak 12 at 200J, 300J and 360J. If still unsuccessful, further shocks at 360J plus anti-arrhythmics as per American Heart Association (AHA) and Singapore National Resuscitation Council (NRC) guidelines for mega VF will be applied.
* Defibrillation with low-energy biphasic shocks using the Medtronic Physio- Control LifePak 12 at 150J, 150J and 150J. If still unsuccessful, shocks will be continued at the higher energy range (as above) plus the use of anti- arrhythmics as per the AHA and NRC guidelines for mega VF.

Results will be analysed to obtain first/subsequent shock defibrillation efficacy and post-shock myocardial function/dysfunction. This randomised study is the first of its kind to explore the efficacy of different biphasic energy levels and their impact on myocardial integrity/function in an inhospital clinical setting. After completion, the study will be expected to produce at least Level 2 results, which would be useful to international resuscitation committees in determining future guidelines and recommendations for defirillation in cardiac arrest victims.

At the conclusion of the study, the results will be analysed and published as soon as possible. This will be the responsibility of the Principal Investigator.
