A framework of current based defibrillation improves defibrillation efficacy of biphasic truncated exponential waveform in rabbits

Abstract Defibrillation is accomplished by the passage of sufficient current through the heart to terminate ventricular fibrillation (VF). Although current-based defibrillation has been shown to be superior to energy-based defibrillation with monophasic waveforms, defibrillators with biphasic wavefo...
