The optimal energy for defibrillation has not yet been identified and very often the maximum energy is delivered. We sought to assess whether amplitude spectral area (AMSA) of ventricular fibrillation (VF) could predict low energy level defibrillation success in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. This is a multicentre international stu...
