Medical School, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland
Resuscitation 75:543-6. 2007..The authors are unable to give an explanation to the event, but suspect the effect of adrenaline combined with mild hypothermia to have contributed to the self-defibrillation of the myocardium... - Presumed futility in paramedic-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: an Utstein style analysis in Tampere, FinlandAntti Kämäräinen
