Abstract
We congratulate Valenzuela et al. and Page et al. (Oct. 26 issue) on their studies of defibrillation in casinos1 and airplanes.2 The advantage of immediate diagnosis and treatment is certain. However, the authors missed the opportunity to demonstrate sustained preservation of neurologic, neuropsychological, and behavioral brain function.Keywords
