Optimal parameters of electrical impulses for defibrillation by condenser discharges.
• Determination of the defibrillation threshold of the heart is important not only for developing the technique of defibrillation per se but also for improving the design of instruments used for that purpose. Previous workhas shown the necessity of selecting, for the discharge circuit, parameters that will keep voltage as low as possible, but many questions concerning the optimal parameters for...
متن کاملCardiac Arrhythmias following Condenser Discharges Led through an Inductance: Comparison with Effects of Pure Condenser Discharges.
• Transthoracic defibrillaton of the heart can be accomplished by several types of electric impulses, but more information is needed concerning the most suitable voltage and wave form for such impulses. In an earlier study reported in this journal, we described a method of applying graded condenser discharges during selected phases of the cardiac cycle through the intact chest walls of dogs und...
متن کاملOn the Excitation of Tissue by Means of Condenser Discharges
Equations are derived for the capacity-voltage relations for stimulation of tissue by condenser discharges, using the hypothesis that the local excitatory process p grows under the influence of an applied potential V according to the equation, See PDF for Equation where K and k are constants. It is further assumed that the local excitatory process becomes adequate when it attains a value h +/- ...
متن کاملCerebral Phosphoprotein Promoted by Electrical Impulses
It has been shown (Heald, 1956b) in cerebral slices that duringtherapidbreakdown ofphosphocreatine, brought about by brief passage of electrical pulses (see Heald, 1954), there is an increased exchange of phosphate between the phosphates soluble in trichloroacetic acid and those in the insoluble residue. Thus in cerebral slices which had been allowed to metabolize radioactive inorganic phosphat...
متن کاملCompact intracloud lightning discharges: 2. Estimation of electrical parameters
[1] We estimated electrical parameters of 48 located compact intracloud discharges (CIDs) using their measured electric fields and vertical Hertzian dipole approximation. This approximation is consistent with the more general bouncing‐wave CID model for a reasonably large subset of allowed combinations of propagation speed and channel length. For nine events, we estimated channel lengths from o...
