The second analysis of automated external defibrillators could recognize
pulseless ventricular tachycardia, leading to successful shock delivery
in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy: A case report
Abstract
In a case of dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by pulseless ventricular
tachycardia, a shock was deemed unnecessary after the first analysis of
the automated external defibrillator (AED). Continued high-quality chest
compressions and strong pressure of the AED pad against the chest wall
led to successful defibrillation after the second analysis.
