For which cardiac rhythm and other problems is CPR required?
The two most common heart rhythms that require CPR is ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an extremely rapid cardiac rhythm and ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal cardiac rhythm. For an adult, if the person is unconscious and not breathing, CPR is required. There are numerous reasons an adult would be unconscious and not breathing; all require CPR.
When the cardiac rhythm is ventricular fibrillation the muscle cells are still contracting but there is?
When the cardiac rhythm is ventricular fibrillation, the muscle cells are contracting in a chaotic and uncoordinated manner, leading to ineffective pumping of blood. This results in the heart being unable to maintain a proper rhythm, causing a critical loss of blood flow to vital organs. Consequently, it can lead to cardiac arrest if not treated promptly.

What does a defibrilator do?
It produces an electrical impulse used to restart the hearts' rhythm after a cardiac arrest.
What establishes cardiac rhythm?
The cardiac rhythm is established by the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the heart's natural pacemaker. The SA node generates electrical impulses that travel through the heart, coordinating the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle to create a regular heartbeat.
