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.
What do you do with defibrillator first?
When using a defibrillator, the first step is to ensure the scene is safe for both the rescuer and the victim. Next, turn on the defibrillator and follow the audible or visual prompts provided by the device. Attach the pads to the patient's bare chest as indicated, ensuring they are placed correctly, and then allow the defibrillator to analyze the heart rhythm. If a shock is advised, ensure no one is touching the patient and press the shock button.
