Efforts to develop less painful, low-energy defibrillation techniques have been ongoing for years. One early approach used time-periodic electric fields to synchronize heart rhythms by inducing ...

Energy-saving techniques like this within the medical field have important implications. For one, they can help save money.

Most cases of cardiac arrest during sport are likely to be preventable. In addition, the emergency response with ...

A new community defibrillator has been installed at four Scots M&S stores as the retailer rolls out more of the lifesaving ...

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance has funded seven automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that will be in almost ...

The authors discovered adjusting the duration and the smooth variation in time of the voltage supplied by defibrillation devices is a more efficient mechanism that reduces the energy needed to ...

Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios.

They discovered far less energy is needed than is currently used in state-of-the-art defibrillation techniques. The results were not at all what we expected. We learned the mechanism for ultra-low ...

In order to remove obstacles preventing immediate defibrillation, the medical community and the media worked together to highlight the importance of public access defibrillation. Under increasing ...

The company behind the drone says it meant that defibrillation could begin before the arrival of an ambulance. Everdrone says it took just over three minutes from the alarm being raised until the ...
