DEFIBRILLATION AND DEFIBRILLATORS

Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias or in cardiac arrest. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical shock to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator in order to reestablish normal contraction rhythms in the heart.

Defibrillators can be external, transvenous, or implanted, depending on the type of device used. In recent years, small external portable units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), have become available to automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little, or in some cases no, training.

TYPES OF DEFIBRILLATORS

• Manual external defibrillator
• Manual internal defibrillator
• Automated external defibrillator (AED)
• Semi-automated external defibrillators
• Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
