Zoll is a brand of defibrillator and is used in the same way you would use any other defibrillator machine. It is not recommended that you use one unless you have been trained in the proper use of these machines. Before you use a defibrillator you need to make sure the person is actually in cardiac arrest. Tilt the head back and check the airway to see if they are breathing. Once you have confirmed that the patient is not breathing turn on the defibrillator. Apply the patches to the chest with one on the left side of the chest on the breast area and the second one on the right side below the breast and under the heart. Stand clear of the patient and press the button to shock the patient.
