Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Background and Objective: All internal defibrillators and some external defibrillators use biphasic waveforms. The study analysed the discharged waveform pulses of two manual and two semi-automated biphasic external defibrillators. Methods and Results: The defibrillators were discharged into resistive loads of 25, 50 and 100 Ohm simulating the patient's transthoracic impedance. The tested biphasic defibrillators differed in initial current as well as initial voltage, varying from 10.9 to 73.3 A and from 482.8 to 2140.0 V, respectively. The energies of the manual defibrillators set at 100, 150 and 200 J deviated by up to + 19.1 or - 28.9% from the selected energy. Impedance-normalised delivered energy varied from 1.0 to 12.5 J/Ohm. Delivered energy, shock duration and charge flow were examined with respect to the total pulse, its splitting into positive and negative phases and their impedance dependence. For three defibrillators pulse duration increased with the resistive load, whereas one defibrillator always required 9.9 ms. All tested defibrillators showed a higher charge flow in the positive phase. Defibrillator capacitance varied between approximately 200 and 100 muF and internal resistance varied from 2.0 to 7.6 Ohm. Defibrillator waveform tilt ranged from - 13.1 to 61.4%. Conclusions: The tested defibrillators showed remarkable differences in their waveform. design and their varying dependence on transthoracic impedance. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
