Double sequential external shocks for refractory ventricular fibrillation.
A technique for terminating refractory ventricular fibrillation is described. ⋯ This report stresses the importance of an additional defibrillator being readily available during electrophysiologic testing. This technique of rapid, double sequential external shocks may have general applicability, providing a simple and potentially lifesaving approach to refractory ventricular fibrillation.
