Figure 2 Monophasic waveform protocol. The initial shock was a 200-J damped sine wave monophasic shock. If the initial shock failed to defibrillate, the patient received a 300-J shock, and if that was unsuccessful, a 360-J shock was delivered. If all three monophasic shocks were unsuccessful, a 170-J biphasic shock was delivered.
