Ask Dr KK: In sudden cardiac arrest how to defibrillate?



While giving defibrillation, one should use the maximum Jules available in the machine. After defibrillation, one should not wait to watch for the rhythm but continue chest compression cardiac resuscitation [CCCR] uninterrupted for the next two minutes.
