In a study of artifact-free ventricular fibrillation episodes in 54 patients, 28 of whom experienced return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), the power of different indicators to predict the ROSC was compared. Taking the average of sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive value, the dominant frequency reaches 76%, the mean amplitude 72% and fibrillation power 71%. There is little correlation between the three indicators.
