Abstract
Lay-rescuer AEDs and professional hospital defibrillators tested in AED mode did not reliably recommend a shock for sustained monomorphic VT or TdP at certain rates, despite the fact that it is a critical component of the currently recommended treatment. These findings require further examination of the risk benefit analysis of shocking or not shocking rhythms such as TdP or pulseless VT.
