- 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) treatment by stopping fibrillation of heart muscles (usually by electric shock delivered by a defibrillator)
- An electronic device used internally or externally that delivers a controlled electric shock to a patient to correct ventricular fibrillation, a lack of coordination of the contraction of muscle tissue of the large chambers of the heart
- (Defibrillation) The use of high energy shock to stop fast heart rhythms
- (Defibrillation) simply means to brush synthetic turf in the opposite direction of its turf lean. Defibrillation can be done manually with a push broom or mechanically with a motorized sweeper. ...
- 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.
- A machine to treat abnormal heart rhythms.
- 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.
- 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.
