Effects of compression depth and pre-shock pauses predict defibrillation failure during cardiac arrest. (2006, neutral): “a Compression depth (mm), mean (S.D.) [n = 47] 39 (11) 29 (10) 36 ( 11 ) 0.004”
European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation 2010 Section 2. Adult basic life support and use of automated external defibrillators (2010, background): “[28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] Each minute of delay before defibrillation reduces the probability of survival to discharge by 10-12%.”
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation of adults in the hospital: a report of 14720 cardiac arrests from the National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. (2003, background): “[49] reported a 74% rate of survival to hospital discharge from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest when on-site lay first responders provide defibrillation in B/3 min.”
