You can use a cardiac defibrillator to delivery electrical energy to a patients heart by the use of electrodes. This is commonly used on patients with cardiac dysrhythmias or ventricular fibrillation.
Use both CPR and a defibrillator in a cardiac emergency.
An implanted defibrillator has both risks and benefits to the patient. The implant is used for those who are at risk for cardiac arrest, and in the event of a cardiac arrest, the defibrillator implant could save the patients life by maintaining a steady cardiac rhythm.

Philips Heartstart is a defibrillator. A defibrillator is a machine used in healthcare that provides a dose of electrical energy to restart the heart during cardiac arrest.
A defibrillator typically delivers between 200 and 1000 volts of electrical charge to the heart in order to restore a normal rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest.
Zoll is a brand of defibrillator and is used in the same way you would use any other defibrillator machine. It is not recommended that you use one unless you have been trained in the proper use of these machines. Before you use a defibrillator you need to make sure the person is actually in cardiac arrest. Tilt the head back and check the airway to see if they are breathing. Once you have confirmed that the patient is not breathing turn on the defibrillator. Apply the patches to the chest with one on the left side of the chest on the breast area and the second one on the right side below the breast and under the heart. Stand clear of the patient and press the button to shock the patient.
If your pacemakers are not functioning correctly, then a doctor will often use a defibrillator to shock them back into normal usage. Your pacemakers send electrical pulses to your cardiac muscles signaling them when it is time to contract. When these pacemakers (cells) are not functioning correctly, then the doctor will use the defibrillator to change their electrical currents, this way the pacemaker cells are fixed.
