What else can I help you with?
What happens after defibrillator is applied?
When used with a heart attack patient who is suffering form arrhythmia or who's heart has stopped completely. The defibrillator causes the muscles of the heart contract, (hopefully) and to return to its normal rhythmic pattern.
Can defibrillators bring a dead person back to life?
Yes. A person who is technically dead as the heart has stopped can be returned to life by use of a defibrillator in some situations.
How do you fix cardiac arrhythmia?
If you are referring to atrial fibrillation, there are several medications used to prevent recurrence, or to control the heart rate. If you are referring to ventricular fibrillation, correction and prevention frequently requires the insertion of a defibrillator and possibly a pacemaker. If you are having frequent ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, your heart is very damaged and a defibrillator/pacemaker may be the only way to prevent sudden death.
How much voltage in a heart defibrillator?
600V
How does a defibrillator function?
A defibrillator brings the cells of the heart back into a unified and timed contraction by introducing a electrical charge ( measured in joules which are equivalent to a one-amp-second of amplitude).

Can your heart stop beating with cardiac defibrillator?
A cardiac defibrillator is designed to correct life-threatening arrhythmias by delivering an electric shock to the heart, which can restore a normal rhythm. However, if the heart has stopped beating completely (as in cardiac arrest), a defibrillator can only be effective if there is still some electrical activity. In cases where the heart is completely non-functional and there is no electrical activity, a defibrillator will not restart the heartbeat. Immediate medical intervention is crucial in such scenarios.
What is the machine used in hospitals to restart hearts called?
"The answer is defibrillator." No, this is not correct. It is what they use in fiction, but a defibrillator is used to correct a malfunctioning heart that is not beating with a normal rhythm. It doesn't really work on a stopped heart. To restart a heart, the person is injected with atropine and adrenaline, and manual compressions (as in CPR) are applied. If this doesn't work then there is little else that can be done.
Can a defibrillator process?
No, because a defibrillator has no processor in it. All that a defibrillator does is run electricity through your heart to get it started. Now the machines that monitor your heart, they have processors, but not a defibrillator.
What does a defibrillator actually do?
A defibrillator is a machine that is used to send strong electrical currents through two mental lined plates to help jump start a person's heart when they have flat lined.
Why would and implanted defibrillator vibrate?

What does the defibrillator do when someone dies?
If someone is clinically dead, a defibrillator will actually do absolutely nothing. What is does do is shock an irregular heart beat back into sinus rhythm (a normal beat) that would otherwise lead to death.

Does CPR restart the heart?
Generally speaking, no. CPR is essentially a maintenance procedure designed to keep oxygenated blood flowing in the body while the heart is stopped, to keep the person from actually dying before medical personnel can try to restart the heart. CPR can, occasionally, get the heart from a not-beating-at-all state to one where a defibrillator can be used to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm. But people who aren't actually medical professionals but have CPR training are usually just trying to extend the amount of time that the person can be revived until a doctor/EMT arrives.
