Effectiveness and Safety of Internal Rectilinear Biphasic Versus Monophasic Defibrillation in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Conclusions: Results of this study indicate that rectilinear biphasic internal defibrillation is more effective in the treatment of VF during cardiac surgery than is monophasic defibrillation. However, no significant difference in myocardial damage could be detected between groups.
