Often, more electricity is required for defibrillation than for cardioversion.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This resulted in unsuccessful defibrillation and generator battery depletion.
From the forbes.com
Defibrillation with electric shocks produced an electrical rhythm, but no heart beat.
From the sfgate.com
So they'll need CPR and ultimately defibrillation to shock the heart back into rhythm.
From the abcnews.go.com
Defibrillation must be received within the first few minutes in order to be effective.
From the upi.com
They administered defibrillation shocks and oxygen, and finally detected a weak heartbeat.
From the newsobserver.com
When someone has a cardiac arrest, defibrillation needs to be prompt.
From the gazetteherald.co.uk
Medics provided CPR and defibrillation, and they turned the patient over to hospital staff.

- Treatment by stopping fibrillation of heart muscles (usually by electric shock delivered by a defibrillator)
- (defibrillator) an electronic device that administers an electric shock of preset voltage to the heart through the chest wall in an attempt to restore the normal rhythm of the heart during ventricular fibrillation
- Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. ...
- (Defibrillate) The brushing of fibrillated yarn in a carpet in order to split the tape into separate strands. Note, excessive brushing WILL wear out the fibre.
- (Defibrillator) An electrical device used to restore normal heart contraction rhythms. This is done by delivering a carefully regulated electrical current to the heart when it suddenly stops beating effectively.
- (Defibrillator) A mechanical device that is implanted in the body to treat life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities. If a dangerous heart rhythm is detected, the device delivers an electrical current to correct it.
- (Defibrillator) A lifesaving mechanical device implanted under the skin in your chest or abdomen with wires running to your heart. This is a way to return an abnormally fast or disorganized heart beat to normal with an electric shock. Newer models can also work as a pacemaker.
- The use of high energy shock to stop fast heart rhythms
- The delivery of an electric shock to the heart to stop an abnormal rhythm and restore a normal heartbeat.
