Two AEDs. One desperate moment. One last shot at survival.
When standard AED shocks fail, responders are turning to one of the most talked-about emerging resuscitation techniques: Double Sequential AED (DSED).
Also known as Double Sequential External Defibrillation, DSED uses two AEDs delivering rapid-fire shocks from different angles to break refractory ventricular fibrillation when single shocks aren’t enough.
Early data—especially the DOSE-VF trial—shows DSED could nearly double survival and improve neurological outcomes—no wonder it’s trending across EMS and hospital teams.
But here’s the truth: 👇
⚠️ DSED is NOT standard protocol.
⚠️ ILCOR hasn’t issued a strong recommendation yet.
⚠️ It’s considered a rescue technique when all else fails
