Summary
We report 3 cases of semiautomated external defibrillator error during analysis of
ventricular fibrillation. The first involved operator-dependent error, in which ambulance
motion led to failure to order a shock. The other 2 cases involved defibrillator-dependent
error, in which signals from a pacemaker apparently led to the automatic decision not to
shock even when ventricular fibrillation was detected.
