The 10 pages that link to Defibrillation, each with the reason it gives.

• Cardiac arrestRelated: An early shock can restore an effective rhythm in ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

• Cardiopulmonary resuscitationCompared with: Defibrillation treats shockable rhythms; CPR provides circulation while that treatment is prepared.

• Ventricular fibrillationRelated: A shock can stop fibrillating activity and allow an organized rhythm to resume.

• Automated external defibrillatorNarrower topic: It is the electrical treatment an AED may advise or deliver.

• Implantable cardioverter-defibrillatorNarrower topic: An ICD performs defibrillation internally when it detects a shockable rhythm.

• Ventricular tachycardiaRelated: Pulseless ventricular tachycardia is treated as a shockable cardiac-arrest rhythm.

• ResuscitationRelated: It can stop shockable rhythms that prevent the heart from circulating blood.

• Torsades de pointesRelated: If torsades becomes pulseless or degenerates into ventricular fibrillation, defibrillation is required.

• Peter SafarRelated: It complements the breathing and circulation measures Safar advanced when cardiac arrest has a shockable rhythm.

• Frank PantridgeNarrower topic: It is the treatment that Pantridge adapted for use beyond hospital walls.
