❤️⚡ Cardiac Defibrillator
A cardiac defibrillator is a life-saving medical device used to restore a normal heart rhythm in individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or life-threatening arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT).
It delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart, helping reset the electrical activity and reestablish effective heartbeat.
🩺 Types of Defibrillators:
| Type | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Automated External Defibrillator (AED) | Portable, easy-to-use with voice prompts | Public places, schools, airports, first responders |
| Manual Defibrillator | Requires trained personnel to interpret ECG and adjust settings | Hospitals, ambulances |
| Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) | Surgically implanted device | Long-term management for patients at risk of arrhythmias |
| Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) | Vest-like external device worn temporarily | Used until an ICD is implanted or no longer needed |
⚙️ Key Features (AED / Manual Defibrillator):
Shock Delivery System
– Delivers controlled energy (typically 150–360 joules)
ECG Monitoring (Manual & Advanced AED)
– Allows rhythm interpretation and shock guidance
Voice/Visual Prompts (AED)
– Guides untrained users through the process
Biphasic Technology
– More efficient and safer shock delivery than older monophasic devices
Rechargeable Battery / AC Power
– Ensures readiness in emergencies
Pediatric Mode or Pads
– Safe use on children

- Patients with heart conditions (for ICDs/WCDs)
A cardiac defibrillator is a device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm or correct dangerous arrhythmias
-
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs)
A portable device that can detect abnormal heart rhythms and deliver a shock to help save a life. AEDs are often found in public places, such as schools, malls, and gyms, and are also carried by police and ambulance crews.
-
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
A device that’s surgically implanted in the chest or under the skin at the side of the chest. ICDs detect life-threatening arrhythmias and send an electric shock to change the heart’s rhythm back to normal. There are two main types of ICDs: traditional ICDs, which are placed in the chest, and subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICDs), which are placed under the skin.
