From the AHA related link:
Many sudden cardiac arrest victims are in ventricular fibrillation (VF). VF is an abnormal, chaotic heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood.
You must defibrillate a victim immediately to stop VF and allow a normal heart rhythm to resume. The sooner you provide defibrillation with the AED, the better the victim's chances of survival. Several studies have documented the effects of time to defibrillation and the effects of bystander CPR on survival from SCA. For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, survival rates from witnessed VF SCA decrease 7 to 10 percent if no CPR is provided. When bystander CPR is provided, the decrease in survival rates is more gradual and averages 3 to 4 percent per minute from collapse to defibrillation. CPR can double or triple survival from witnessed SCA at most intervals to defibrillation.

∙ 13y agoearly defib helps to increase a positive response to rescusitation. If the heart is in vfib/pulseless vtach (the two shockable rhythms), it usually does not sustain those rhythms long. early defib increases the chance of survival and lessens the amount of time the heart is not pumping blood effectively to the rest of the vital organs and oxygen to the brain

Why it is important to give early defibrillation to adult?
Since the chances of an adult losing conscience as a result of heart failure are higher than with a child, it is recommended to give the defibrillation treatment as soon as possible. Research shows that the early defibrillation is more likely to save lives for the individual suffering a heart attack .
Why it is important to give early defibrillation?
To allow the heart to reset and resume normal sinus rhythm.
American red cross early defibrillation can?
American Red Cross early defibrillation can increase the chance of survival from cardiac arrest.
Place the links of the adult chain of survival in the correct order?
Cardiac Chain of Survival: 1) Early Recognition & Access; 2) Early CPR; 3) Early Defibrillation; 4) Early Advanced Medical Care.
What can early CPR and defibrillation do?
CPR and early defibrillation can reduce the risk of damage to the brain from inadequate blood flow. Thus, they can increase the likelihood fo survival.
Should you start early defibrillation in CPR because the probability of successful defibrillation diminishes rapidly over time?
CPR and early defibrillation can reduce the risk of damage to the brain from inadequate blood flow. Thus, they can increase the likelihood fo survival.
Why it is important to give early defibrilation to an adult?
To restore heart function and circulation in the entire body.
What is second link in the BLS?
There is a cardiac chain of survival: Link 1: Early recognition and access; Link 2: Early CPR; Link 3: Early defibrillation; Link 4: Early advanced medical care.
What can early defibrillation do?
When a person is in cardiac arrest, the heart goes into a spasm. The electrical activity become "spastic" and a condition known as ventricular fibrillation results. The defibrillator delivers a controlled electric shock to the body to give the heart a chance to start again. It does not start the heart per se. Defibrillating early greatly increases the chance of survival and minimises cardiac damage.
What does the cardiac chain of survival start with?
1. Early recognition and access. 2. Early CPR. 3. Early defibrillation. 4. Early advanced medical care.
When did CPAs begin auditing financial statements?
Since the early part of the twentieth century, CPAs have audited financial statements.
On the Sims 3 what is the difference of a young adult to an adult?
