Abstract
Severe H facilitated transthoracic defibrillation in this swine model. Since impedance rose and current fell during H, the improved shock success must be due to a hypothermia-induced change in the mechanical or electrophysiologic properties of the myocardium. Moderate hypothermia did not alter the energy requirement for defibrillation.
