Bonus Defib: Immediate VS Delayed Defibrillation. Former practice was to perform 2 minutes of compressions prior to defibrillation in an unwitnessed arrest/no bystander compressions, with the thinking that the heart needed time to build up ATP before that first shock occurred. Subsequent data showed no difference. Here's a paper that actually demonstrates higher survival when patients were defibrillated as soon as a shockable rhythm was identified. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10

Early CPR and defibrillation can significantly increase someone's chances of surviving a cardiac arrest. Watch our Defib Dani animation to see how easy public access defibs are to use! | Resuscitation Council UK
