European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Adult advanced life support
2021, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :Defibrillation requires the delivery of sufficient electrical energy to defibrillate a critical mass of myocardium, abolish the wavefronts of VF and enable restoration of spontaneous synchronised electrical activity in the form of an organised rhythm. The optimal energy for defibrillation is that which achieves defibrillation whilst causing the minimum of myocardial damage.192 Selection of an appropriate energy level also reduces the number of repetitive shocks, which in turn limits myocardial damage.193
