How/when are heart defibrillators used?

589 views

Tv and movies show them as a magical heart restart machine, bringing people back from the dead. But I’ve heard medical professionals say that’s not true, but they never elaborate. I’ve seen portable ones everywhere, so they must be needed fairly regularly.

Basically, CPR is used to restart the heart if it stops, but the beats might be erratic, the defib will restart the heart if its already beating, hopefully back in a good rhythm
