Waveform parameters may affect the efficacy of ventricular defibrillation. Certain biphasic pulse waveforms are more effective for ventricular defibrillation than monophasic waveforms, but the optimal biphasic waveform parameters have not been identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of total pulse duration and the duration of the second (negative) phase on voltage and energy defibrillation requirements using biphasic waveforms. Defibrillation efficacy was evaluated in an isolated rabbit heart model using the Langendorff technique. The biphasic waveform was a truncated exponential with the initial voltage of the second phase equal to 50% of the final voltage of the first phase. An up/down protocol was used to determine the 50% probability-of-success levels (E50) for delivered energy and initial voltage. First, using pulse waveforms with equal positive and negative phase durations, test waveforms with total durations of 4 nw (2 ms positive + 2 ms negative), 6 ms (3 + 3 ms), and 16 ms (8 -h 8 ms) were compared to the control waveform of 8 ms (4 + 4 ms) in 30 experiments. Defibrillation voltage requirements with 4 ms (174 ± 56 V) were higher (P = 0.001) compared to 8 ms (127 ± 49 V). Defibrillation voltage requirements for the 6-ms and 16-ms waveforms were similar to the 8-ms control waveform. Delivered energies tended to be higher with the 4-ms waveform. A second series of 40 experiments were performed to compare monophasic (4 -h 0 ms) and three asymmetric biphasic waveforms (4 -h 2 ms, 4-1-8 ms, and 4 -h 16 ms) to the symmetric control waveform (4 -h 4 ms). The monophasic (2.15 ± 1.21 J) and the 4 + 16 ms waveform (1.86 ± 1.09 ]) required higher energies (P ≤ 0.05) than the control waveform (1.24 ± 0.41 J and 0.87 ± 0.7 J, respectively). The monophasic waveform also resulted in greater voltage requirements (223 ± 64 V) compared to the control waveform (160 ± 26 V) (P = 0.02). Energy and voltage requirements were similar for the 4 -1-2 ms and 4 -h 8 ms waveforms compared to the control. Defibrillation requirements with biphasic waveforms were affected by total and second phase duration. For waveforms with equal phase durations, total durations between 6-16 ms resulted in the lowest values for defibrillation. For waveforms with variable second (negative) phase durations, durations ranging from 50%-200% of the first phase did not affect defibrillation efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
