Defibrillators

Defibrillators are life-saving electronic devices that are used to apply an electrical shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. It can be a life saver for an individual who suffers a cardiac arrest. When a controlled shock is given using defibrillators, the survival chances of the patient increase. Defibrillators can be implanted, external and transvenous. The ones used in case of emergencies are usually the Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs. Read the articles below for more on these vital devices.
