Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Diseases, The Cardiovascular Center, The University of Iowa and Clinics, 200 Hawkins Drive, 52242, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Background: Transthoracic impedance and current flow are determinants of defibrillation success with monophasic shocks. Whether transthoracic impedance, either independently or via its association with body weight, is a determinant of biphasic waveform shock success has not been determined.
Methods And Results: We studied 22 swine, weighing 18-41 kg.
