AB Cardiovascular  disease  is  the  most  common  cause  of  death  in  the  developed  world.  It  is  responsible  for  350,000  deaths  per  year  in  the  United  States.1  Approximately  40%  of  those  with  out-of-hospital  cardiac  arrest  (OOHCA)  have  an  initial  presenting  rhythm  of  ventricular  fibrillation.2  Early  defibrillation  increases  the  chances  of  survival  in  these  situations.
