At this year’s European Resuscitation Council (ERC) congress in Rotterdam, Akil Awad presented results from the Swedish study Double-D’s pilot phase during the Late Breaking / Hot Topic session.
The Double-D trial investigates the effect of Double Sequential Defibrillation (DSD) in cases of refractory ventricular fibrillation — an area of great international interest.
The study has so far been conducted at Swedish EMS-teams, with ongoing work to expand to the Netherlands and Spain. We are proud of this strong Swedish research initiative and the close collaboration between prehospital teams, coordinators and local PI’s that make this important study possible.
