Defibrillation - Wikipedia
Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (VF) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (VT). A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart.Although not fully understood, this process depolarizes a large amount of the heart muscle, ending the dysrhythmia.
