What cardiac arrhythmia is fatal unless reversed?
Cardiac arrhythmia is usually fatal unless reversed by electric defibrillation. Cardiac arrhythmia is also sometimes referred to as ventricular fibrillation.
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 is electrification related to atomic structure?
Electricitrification is the term for using or switching to electric power. This relates to atomic structure because electric power depends on the flow of atoms with an electric charge, usually a negative electric charge, meaning they have an uneven amount of electrons and protons.

Is atrial fibrillation worse that ventricular fibrillation?
No, ventricular fibrillation is worse than atrial fibrillation. This is because the ventricle is the chamber responsible for the main force pumping the blood out of the heart. If this contraction is not coordinated (like when fibrillation occurs), then the heart will not be able to function and consciousness will be lost within a few seconds. Ventricular fibrillation may result from electric shock, major myocardial infarct or some anaesthetic drugs. Resuscitation is usually possible by applying an electric shock (defibrillation) - which causes all cells to enter the refractory period and gives the sinoatrial node a chance to resume its normal pacemaker activity.
What is the purpose for defibrillation?
Defibrillation is used to restore a normal heart rhythm in cases of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. It delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart to help it reestablish a regular heartbeat.
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.
What is AV nobes?
I think you mean 'AV Node'. If so, then it is part of the hearts pace maker called the Atrio-ventricular node. It emits an electric pulse across the ventricles to make them contract (ventricular systole). This pulse would have come from the SA (Sino-atrial) node, which would have made the atria contract before the electric pulse reached the AV node.
What does an AED do for a cardiac arrest victim?
An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is used in an attempt to shock a person's heart--who is either in ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) or ventricular fibrillation (V-fib)--into a effective heart rhythm that will cause the heart of pump blood.
What is a ventricular tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia-- A rapid heart beat, usually over 100 beats per minute.
How should one treat ventricular fibrillation (VFib) effectively?
Ventricular fibrillation (VFib) should be treated promptly with defibrillation to restore normal heart rhythm. This involves delivering an electric shock to the heart using a defibrillator. Immediate CPR should also be initiated to help maintain blood flow until medical help arrives. It is important to act quickly to increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing VFib.
Is a lightning rod an electric conductor or an insulator?
A lightning rod is an electric conductor. Its purpose is to safely conduct the electrical charge from a lightning strike to the ground, thus protecting the structure it is attached to.
