Introduction Wim Kouwenhoven

Mechanical devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation: an update.

Despite the promise and universal use of the Kouwenhoven technique for closed chest cardiac massage, this method has been shown repeatedly to suffer from lack of clinical efficacy. Although the Kouwenhoven technique can clearly save lives, the inherent inefficiency of this approach and the challenges related to teaching and retaining the skills needed to perform the technique correctly have lim...

Paroxysmal Ventricular Fibrillation with Spontaneous Reversion to Sinus Rhythm.

Ventricular fibrillation is the cause of sudden circulatory arrest in about 30 per cent of cases (Jude, Kouwenhoven, and Knickerbocker, 1961). Paroxysms of ventricular fibrillation frequently account for Stokes-Adams attacks in patients with complete heart block (Parkinson, Papp, and Evans, 1941; Portal et al., 1962). Though Stokes-Adams attacks occur not infrequently in patients with sinus rhy...
