defibrillators
Cardiac shock devices
Defibrillators are medical devices that deliver electric shocks to the heart to restore normal rhythm during cardiac arrest.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are simplified versions found in public places like airports and gyms, designed for use by bystanders: She grabbed the defibrillator from the wall and followed the voice prompts.
Hospital defibrillators allow more precise control for medical professionals.
