pubmed:abstractText
The standard porcine cardiac arrest model uses electrical induction of ventricular fibrillation. Reported restoration of spontaneous circulation and survival rates in this model are as high as 90% for ventricular fibrillation durations of 7-10 mins, values substantially greater than rates in the clinical population (i.e., 20% to 30%). A high first shock success rate, infrequent refibrillation, and short times for restoration of spontaneous circulation are typical of the model. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ischemic induction of ventricular fibrillation in swine followed by standard advanced cardiac life support would result in short-term outcomes approximating those observed in human victims of out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation.
