Defibrillation (de = from + fibrilla = small fiber + ion = noun form ==> contracting abnormally) is a common electrical treatment to shock your heart into normal sinus rhythm. Currently CPR responders have been trained to utilize automated external defibrillators (AEDs) which should be located in most public buildings in case of cardiac arrest of a visitor.
