Description

Defibrillation is a medical procedure used to restore normal heart rhythm in individuals experiencing life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It involves delivering an electrical shock to the heart using a device called a defibrillator. The shock depolarizes the heart muscle, temporarily stopping all electrical activity in the heart, with the aim of allowing the heart's natural pacemaker to re-establish a normal rhythm. Defibrillation is typically performed using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in out-of-hospital settings or manual defibrillators by trained healthcare professionals in hospitals or clinical settings. Timely defibrillation is critical in cardiac arrest situations, as it can significantly improve the chances of survival and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
