Defibrillator

A defibrillator is a life-saving medical device used to treat patients experiencing life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart, restoring a normal heartbeat and improving the chances of survival during cardiac emergencies.

Key features include:

• Shock delivery: Provides precise, high-energy electrical shocks to the heart when needed.

• Automated options: Some models are Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) that guide users with voice or visual prompts for safe and effective use.

• Portability: Lightweight and compact models are suitable for hospitals, ambulances, and public spaces.

• Monitoring capabilities: Many devices include heart rhythm monitoring and real-time feedback.

• Safety mechanisms: Built-in safeguards prevent accidental shocks to the user or patient.
