Defibrillator

Defibrillators administer an electric charge to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat, crucial during sudden cardiac arrest. Without immediate treatment, sudden cardiac arrest is fatal, but CPR and a defibrillator can improve outcomes significantly. Additionally, implantable, or wearable defibrillators can correct dangerous arrhythmias, enhancing cardiac health.

Types of Defibrillators:

Manual external defibrillators: Require healthcare professionals, used in hospitals and ambulances, manually adjustable for voltage and timing during emergencies like cardiac surgeries.

Internal defibrillators: Utilized in operating rooms, administer shocks directly to the heart during surgery.
