BET 1: Can hands-on defibrillation be performed safely?
Emergency Medicine Journal : EMJ 2020 September
A short cut review was carried out to see whether hands-on defibrillation could be performed safely. 6 papers presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these papers are tabulated. It is concluded that hands-on defibrillation has the potential to be performed safely if the rescuer uses appropriate electrical insulating barriers such as polyethylene gloves or class 1 electrical insulating gloves. The safety profile of nitrile gloves is unclear. Since detection of shock was used as a proxy for safety, additional investigation is warranted before hands-on defibrillation becomes common practice.
