Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) : Current vs. Energy - Current is the Answer!

A HEART IN VF

•It is well established --- it is current that defibrillates

•There is an optimal time that a heart is receptive to defibrillation current

•An optimal amount of current must pass through the heart in an optimal amount of time in order to successfully defibrillate. We call this optimized current delivery

Optimized Current Delivery = Successful Defibrillation
