Abstract:
:This study was undertaken to determine if checking for a pulse between initial defibrillations causes a clinically significant delay in the administration of the defibrillations. Ten emergency department nurses and 10 emergency medicine resident physicians were timed delivering three successive defibrillations (200, 300 and 360 J) to a manikin under three randomly assigned scenarios: (1) without pulse checks; (2) with pulse checks performed by an assistant; and (3) with pulse checks performed by the participant. All participants performed the three defibrillation scenarios using three different models of defibrillators. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to compare mean defibrillation times for the three scenarios. The mean time was 20.4 +/- 1.0 s for defibrillation without pulse checks; 20.2 +/- 1.2 s with pulse checks by an assistant and 22.0 +/- 2.0 s with pulse checks by the participant. There was a statistically significant difference between no pulse checks and pulse checks by the participant. No statistically significant difference was noted between no pulse checks and pulse checks by an assistant. We conclude that checking for a pulse does cause a statistically significant delay in the administration of defibrillations. This difference, however, is not likely to be clinically relevant.
