How/when are heart defibrillators used?

593 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.

The purpose of a heart defibrillator is to stop a heart. Doing so, the heart’s natural pacemaker can take over and make the heart beat in a regular way.
