Dr Tony Smith, Deputy Clinical Director at Hato Hone St John, tells us about Double Sequential and Vector Change Defibrillation for resistant VF/VT. These new techniques, not currently covered in our NZRC resus algorithms, are being utilised by all ambulance services in New Zealand for patients who do not get ROSC after three shocks.
