Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005021089A1] A method for resuscitating the heart during a sustained episode of ventricular fibrillation, fine ventricular fibrillation, or asystole is provided, which includes delivering circulatory support for an interval of time effective in alleviating myocardial hypoxia, and delivering a series of electrical pulses for evoking a series of myocardial depolarizations after the interval of circulatory support. The method may be implemented in conjunction with an external or implantable cardiac electrical stimulation device and associated electrodes capable of delivering a series of pacing-class or defibrillation class pulses. Circulatory support may be delivered manually, e.g., in the form of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), or mechanized, e.g., in the form of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, activation of an implantable ventricular assist device, or automated CPR equipment and the like.
