   Every year sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) kills between 35,000 and 45,000 people in Canada [1] and approximately 350,000 people in the United States; 85% of SCAs are caused by ventricular fibrillation (VF). [2] Receiving defibrillation from an automated external defibrillator (AED) is a key component of the 'chain of survival' for victims

   An automated external defibrillator or automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, [1] and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re ...

   Illustration of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) is a device implantable inside the body, able to perform defibrillation, and depending on the type, cardioversion and pacing of the heart.

   Likewise, a 2022 systematic review on exercise-related cardiac arrests supported early intervention of bystander CPR and AED use (for shockable rhythms) as they improve survival outcomes. [ 86 ] If high-quality CPR has not resulted in return of spontaneous circulation and the person's heart rhythm is in asystole , stopping CPR and pronouncing ...

   The use of cardiac defibrillation started in 1947 - first in an open chest and ten years later through a closed chest with high energy levels. In 1972, cardiac defibrillation with intracardiac electrodes delivering much less energy of as low as 30 joules was established, following the development of portable units delivering high energy levels ...
