Electrocardiographic recording direction impacts ventricular fibrillation waveform measurements: A potential pitfall for VF-waveform guided defibrillation protocols
Thannhauser J, Nas J, Vart P, Smeets J, de Boer M, van Royen N, et al.
Resusc Plus . 2021 Jul; 6:100114. PMID: 34223374
Aim: In cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform analysis has identified the amplitude spectrum area (AMSA) as a key predictor of defibrillation success and favorable neurologic survival. New resuscitation protocols...

Computerized Analysis of the Ventricular Fibrillation Waveform Allows Identification of Myocardial Infarction: A Proof-of-Concept Study for Smart Defibrillator Applications in Cardiac Arrest
Thannhauser J, Nas J, Rebergen D, Westra S, Smeets J, van Royen N, et al.
J Am Heart Assoc . 2020 Oct; 9(19):e016727. PMID: 33003984
Background In cardiac arrest, computerized analysis of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform provides prognostic information, while its diagnostic potential is subject of study. Animal studies suggest that VF morphology is...

Meta-Analysis Comparing Cardiac Arrest Outcomes Before and After Resuscitation Guideline Updates
Nas J, Te Grotenhuis R, Bonnes J, Furlaneto J, van Royen N, Smeets J, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2019 Dec; 125(4):618-629. PMID: 31858970
Updates of resuscitation guidelines have limited high-level supporting evidence. Moreover, the overall effect of such bundled practice changes depends not only on the impact of the individual interventions but also...

Ventricular fibrillation waveform characteristics of the surface ECG: Impact of the left ventricular diameter and mass
Bonnes J, Thannhauser J, Nas J, Westra S, Jansen R, Meinsma G, et al.
Resuscitation . 2017 Apr; 115:82-89. PMID: 28363820
Background: Despite a promising association between VF waveform characteristics and prognosis after resuscitation, studies with VF-guided treatment have so far not improved outcomes. While driven by the idea that the...

Risk Factors for Inadequate Defibrillation Safety Margins Vary With the Underlying Cardiac Disease: Implications for Selective Testing Strategies
Bonnes J, Westra S, Bouwels L, de Boer M, Brouwer M, Smeets J
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol . 2016 Jan; 27(5):587-93. PMID: 26824826
Introduction: In view of the shift from routine toward no or selective defibrillation testing, optimization of the current risk stratification for inadequate defibrillation safety margins (DSMs) could improve individualized testing...
6.
Termination of resuscitation in the prehospital setting: A comparison of decisions in clinical practice vs. recommendations of a termination rule
Verhaert D, Bonnes J, Nas J, Keuper W, van Grunsven P, Smeets J, et al.
Resuscitation . 2016 Jan; 100:60-5. PMID: 26774173
Background: Of the proposed algorithms that provide guidance for in-field termination of resuscitation (TOR) decisions, the guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) refer to the basic and advanced life support (ALS)-TOR...

Manual Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Versus CPR Including a Mechanical Chest Compression Device in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Comprehensive Meta-analysis From Randomized and Observational Studies
Bonnes J, Brouwer M, Navarese E, Verhaert D, Verheugt F, Smeets J, et al.
Ann Emerg Med . 2015 Nov; 67(3):349-360.e3. PMID: 26607332
Study Objective: Mechanical chest compression devices have been developed to facilitate continuous delivery of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Despite promising hemodynamic data, evidence on clinical outcomes remains inconclusive. With the...

Ventricular fibrillation waveform characteristics differ according to the presence of a previous myocardial infarction: A surface ECG study in ICD-patients
Bonnes J, Thannhauser J, Hermans M, Westra S, Oostendorp T, Meinsma G, et al.
Resuscitation . 2015 Sep; 96:239-45. PMID: 26325098
Background: Characteristics of the ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform reflect arrest duration and have been incorporated in studies on algorithms to guide resuscitative interventions. Findings in animals indicate that VF characteristics...

Characteristics of ventricular fibrillation in relation to cardiac aetiology and shock success: A waveform analysis study in ICD-patients
Bonnes J, Keuper W, Westra S, Zegers E, Oostendorp T, Brouwer M, et al.
Resuscitation . 2014 Dec; 86:95-9. PMID: 25449343
Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) waveform characteristics are associated with cardiac arrest duration and defibrillation success. Recent animal studies found that VF characteristics and shock success also depend on the presence...

Legal responsibilities of physicians when making participation decisions in athletes with cardiac disorders: Do guidelines provide a solid legal footing?
Panhuyzen-Goedkoop N, Smeets J
Br J Sports Med . 2014 Mar; 48(15):1193-5. PMID: 24668047
Safe sports participation involves protecting athletes from injury and life-threatening situations. Preparticipation cardiovascular screening (PPS) in athletes is intended to prevent exercise-related sudden cardiac death by medical management of athletes...
