A defibrillator works by checking the casualty’s heart rhythm once the defibrillator pads are placed on their chest and giving them a shock if needed. Defibrillators can be used on adults or children over one year old. By using a defibrillator before an ambulance arrives, you can significantly increase someone’s chance of survival.

After identifying a non-shockable rhythm, the defibrillator should be rapidly disarmed. Care must be taken to ensure all personnel are clear during defibrillation. The pads must be well adhered to the chest wall to minimise spark risk. Timing: Early defibrillation is recognised as a priority in the chain of survival.
The appropriate energy dose is determined by the design of the defibrillator—monophasic or biphasic. If you are using a monophasic defibrillator, give a single 360 J shock. Use the same energy dose on subsequent shocks. Biphasic defibrillators use a variety of waveforms and have been shown to be more effective for terminating a fatal
How a Manual Defibrillator Works. A manual defibrillator serves the same purpose as an automated external defibrillator: to save the life of a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest takes place when there is an electrical malfunction in the heart, which causes the heart to stop beating. If a normal heartbeat is not restored
