A defibrillator is a machine commonly used by health care professionals (e.g. EMT, nurses, Doctors, etc.). This machine is used in order to shock a humans heart back into a regular rhythm. The way your heart works is that you have small nodes of cells called pacemakers sending electrical pulses to your cardiac muscles that tell your heart when to pump blood. When these electrical pulses stop, your heart stops beating. When this happens, a defibrillator is used to shock the heart muscles and the pacemakers back into action. If the heart stops beating (asystole), chemicals may be administered to "restart" the heart. A defibrillator is used when the heart is beating, but irregular (arrhythmia). The shock causes all of the cardiac muscle cells to contract at the same time. This usually corrects the irregular heart beat. The way this is achieved is by rubbing the two panels of the defibrillator together to create an adequate electrical current, then the doctor or fireman will shout "clear" so that no humans other than the patient are shocked (electrical current through the body) or electrocuted (killed by shocking).
