DOSE VF with Dr. Sheldon Cheskes

On today's episode, we chat with Dr. Sheldon Cheskes, principal
investigator of the landmark DOSE VF trial. 


In this study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine,
Dr. Cheskes and his team wanted to evaluate DSED and VC
defibrillation as compared with standard defibrillation in
patients who remain in refractory ventricular fibrillation during
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.


In this episode, we walk through the study design, methodology,
results, and perhaps most importantly, critically appraise the
study to see how it works in the real world!
