Shock Victims Get Aid From New Currents

Pasadena researchers report that electric shocks may derange heart action causing ventricular fibrillation without harming tissue, and can sometimes revive animals after VF with high current short shocks. They stress artificial respiration before and after counter shocks and say current, not voltage, measures shock intensity.

Pasadena Calif American Institute of Electrical Engineers L. P. Ferris B. G. King P. W. Spence H. B. Williams New York

Early experiments on electrical revival and animal tests

The report notes before ventricular fibrillation results were about one tenth of an ampere and revival shocks around 25 amperes. Experiments involved sheep, calves, pigs and dogs. The first recorded revival in 1775 by C P Abildgaard described a hen dying after a first shock, later revived after a third shock.
