• Read Kouwenhoven, Jude & Knickerbocker, 'Closed-Chest Cardiac Massage' (JAMA 1960) — the primary stayed paywalled; the accidental-discovery quant/mechanism could not be confirmed against it this session
  capture promoted 2026-07-30 · cpr, defibrillator, kouwenhoven, knickerbocker, jude
• Ferris et al. 1936 sets ~0.1 ampere at 60 Hz, hand-to-foot, for shocks of 3+ seconds, as the practical danger threshold for man

• The 1936 BSTJ printing of 'Effect of Electric Shock on the Heart' is a digest of a paper first published in Electrical Engineering, not an original standalone publication

• Read the full text of Ferris et al. 1936, 'Effect of Electric Shock on the Heart' (BSTJ 15(3)) and confirm what the paper actually reports
