A defibrillator is a medical device used to restore a normal heartbeat by delivering a controlled electric shock to the heart in cases of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It is commonly used in emergency settings, including hospitals and during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are designed for layperson use, allowing bystanders to assist individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. The timely use of a defibrillator can significantly increase the chances of survival.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the machine the hospital uses to shock you?
A defibrillator. Can be either monophasic or biphasic.
What are the shocker things that the doctor uses to revive a patient?

Can a defibrillator process?
No, because a defibrillator has no processor in it. All that a defibrillator does is run electricity through your heart to get it started. Now the machines that monitor your heart, they have processors, but not a defibrillator.
What kind of energy does a defibrillator use to restore normal heart functions?
It uses a direct electrical current. Gigi
Does an automated external defibrillator use ac or DC?
An automated external defibrillator (AED) uses direct current (DC) to deliver a shock to the heart. The defibrillator generates a brief but powerful DC shock to help restore a normal heart rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest. This electrical energy is critical for interrupting chaotic heart rhythms and allowing the heart to resume its normal function.
Can you get a Dot medical card if you have an defibrillator?
No, you can't get a DOT medical card if you have a defibrillator.
Why would and implanted defibrillator vibrate?
Why would and implanted defibrillator in your heart vibrate
How is a defibrillator turned off at death?
A ventilator is turned off after death not a defibrillator.
What is the operating pricipal of a defibrillator?
It uses an electric charge to jolt the heart back into rhythm. The heart as with your brain require electrical activity to work correctly.
Is CPR performed any differently if patient has a defibrillator?
No, CPR isn't performed any differently if patient has a defibrillator.
What does AED stands for?
AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator.
What would you ues CPR or a defibrillator?
Use both CPR and a defibrillator in a cardiac emergency.
