Question:

Answers:
It's called a defibrillator.

A defibrillator is a medical device used in the defibrillation of the heart. It consists of a central unit and a set of two electrodes. The central unit provides a source of power and control. The two electrodes are placed directly on or in the patient. The device is designed to deliver an electric shock to the patient, in an effort to stop ventricular fibrillation (heart attack).

Yeah.What she said. Basically your getting whacked with a ton of voltage in the hopes that your internal pacemaker will restart

defibrillator aquasonic gel.defibrillator.the gel acts as a conductor, much like metal is for electricity.

it is called an AED macine-----Automated External Defibrolator

refibalator or something of that nature

It is called a defibrillator and it sends an electric shock through the heart to "restart" the cardiac dysrhythmia called fibrillation, an unproductive heart rhythm. defibrillator

I think it is a defibulator. That is really all I know.

A defibilation machine is what you are talking about.

However this does not restart the heart, this is a common misunderstanding that television seems to support. In reality the machine uses an electrical pulse to reset the heart's natural rythym when it is disrupted (the heart is still going, but is not pumping properly.
They DO NOT use it to "restart" the heart, as this is impossible to do except through maually pumping blood atificially then going through surgery.
SO when you see a "flatline" realise that they DO NOT use a defibrillator. this would do absolutely nothing. They only use a defibrilator to return the heart to its normal pulse rate.

defibrolator, but i think you got that from everyone else, but a fun fact about it thought, the newer ones talk to you, so if in need of using one on someone, dont be scared of not fully knowing what to do, just take a deep breath, and listen to the instructions, o and how it works is that it stops the heart becuase when your having a heart attack, your heart is freaking out, so in a weird way its like a smack in the face when your freaking out, it stops you in your tracks and helps you stop for a min, and relize what your doing, aka it stops the heart and lets it start working on its own again, hope i've helped
