What else can I help you with?
What is the medical term meaning An electrical shock delivered to the heart to correct certain abnormal heart rhythms?
A defibrillator is a device used to deliver a shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.
When is a implantable cardioverter defibrillator used to treat arrhythmias?
a treatment for serious arrhythmias. The battery-powered device senses an abnormal heart rhythm and automatically provides electrical shock(s). The shock(s) suspends heart activity and then allows the heart to initiate a normal rhythm
What is a defibulater?
A defibrillator is a medical device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. It is used in emergency situations to help save lives by correcting a dangerous heart rhythm.
What is designed for use by nonprofessionals and externally shocks the heart to restore a normal cardiac rhythm?
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
The meaning of AED?
" Automated external defibrillator" is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart that will restore the natural heart rhythm to the victim during a cardiac arrest. When the AED electrodes are applied to the victim's chest, it automatically analyzes the heart rhythm and the rescuer is then advised whether a shock is needed to regain a normal heart beat. The heart has been defibrillated when the victim's heart resumes normal beating. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND VIDEO GO TO: http://www.emergencysuppliesinfo.com/allergic-reaction.html
What is electrical cardioversion?
Electrical cardioversion is a medical procedure that uses an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm in patients with certain types of abnormal heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation. It is usually done under sedation or general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
What is a difribullator used for?
A defibrillator is a device used to deliver an electric shock to the heart to stop abnormal or irregular heart rhythms, specifically ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, which can be life-threatening. This shock helps restore the heart's normal rhythm and can save a person's life during cardiac arrest.
How do you shock a flatline to revive a patient?
To revive a patient with a flatline, a defibrillator is used to deliver an electric shock to the heart. This shock helps to restore the heart's normal rhythm and can potentially revive the patient.
What does a defibrillator identify?
A defibrillator identifies abnormal heart rhythms, specifically life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It monitors the heart's electrical activity and determines whether a shock is needed to restore a normal rhythm. If a shock is warranted, the device delivers an electric shock to the heart to help reestablish a coordinated heartbeat.
Surgically placed device that directs an electrical current shock to the heart to restore rhythm?
Restoring the heart rhythm by using electrical shock is called defibrillation.
What is an implantable cardioverter-defribrillator?
A device placed in the body to deliver an electrical shock to the heart in response to a serious abnormal rhythm.
When connected properly to the victim the aed unit advises you when?
An AED (automated external defibrillator) is a portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm. In use it tells you how to use it properly and advises you when to stand back.
