Figure 3 Number of shocks and cumulative delivered energy for monophasic and biphasic shocks. As shown in panel A, a median of three shocks were required using monophasic shocks, compared with a median of one shock for biphasic. Panel B demonstrates that the total energy delivered, likewise, was less for biphasic shocks.
