This secondary analysis of the DOSE VF trial highlights double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) as a superior strategy over standard and vector change defibrillation for refractory ventricular fibrillation (RVF)
Does the outcome from refractory VF differ from recurrent VF in DOSE-VF patients? Read More
This study in the Journal of Trauma Acute Care Surgery shows that emergency department (ED) intubation for patients needing urgent haemorrhage control surgery is linked to higher mortality and complications. Prioritising rapid resuscitation and OR transfer over ED intubation may improve outcomes. Further prospective research is needed
