Cardiac Arrest
Eligibility:
All Genders
8+ years
Phase:
PHASE3
Brief Summary
This study will compare the effect of constant low-level energy \[150 joules\] to an escalating energy \[200-300-360 joules\] regimen of biphasic waveform defibrillation on multiple patient outcomes.
Detailed Description
This pilot, which will enroll 200 subjects, will allow a reasonable estimate of effect size and this will, in turn, allow for the accurate design and planning of a definitive randomized controlled tri...
