What does defibrillation mean?

When an arrhythmia (abnormal cardiac rhythm) develops in the heart's lower chambers and becomes potentially fatal, defibrillation is the application of an electric charge to assist your heart in returning to a normal rhythm (ventricles). Instead of defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion is used when a patient has a pulse to prevent cardiac arrest.

What is the purpose of defibrillation?

Devices called defibrillators jolt or pulse an alternating energy through into heart to restore regular heartbeat. They are employed to prevent or treat an irregular heartbeat that beats too slowly or too quickly, called arrhythmia.
