“DOuble SEquential External Defibrillation for Refractory VF”
Despite significant advances in resuscitation efforts, there are some patients who remain in refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) and vector change defibrillation have been proposed as viable options for patients in refractory VF. This cluster randomized trial will compare (1) continued resuscitation using standard defibrillation; (2) resuscitation involving DSED; or (3) resuscitation involving vector change defibrillation, in patients presenting with refractory VF during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The results of this study will provide high level evidence of the impact of both DSED and vector change defibrillation on ROSC and patient survival after OHCA.

Procedure - Double Sequential Defibrillation
Defibrillation using pad placement in anterior-posterior position
Procedure - Vector Change Defibrillation
Defibrillation using two defibrillators, one with pad placement in anterior-posterior position and the other with pad placement in anterior-anterior position delivering two rapid sequential shocks.
