| Defibrillator |
| A defibrillator is a device which administers a controlled electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation (chaotic and abnormal pumping of the heart which does not allow the heart to pump blood effectively and is due to a disease or medical complication). The defibrillator administers the shock either through electrodes placed externally on the chest wall over the heart or directly to the heart after the chest has been opened surgically.
