    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_external...

    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 ...

    Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach). [1] [2] A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart.

    Pad placement for electrical cardioversion a cardiac arrhythmia may be either anterior-posterior or anterior-lateral. In an anterior-posterior setup one pad is placed on the chest and the other pad is placed on the back. In an anterior-lateral setup, one pad is placed on the chest and the other pad is placed along the left midaxillary line.

    Other Cardiac Support Devices Some devices are designed to support the heart and its various components/function but are not considered VADs, below are some common examples. Pacemakers and Internal Cardiac Defibrillators (ICDs) – the function of a VAD differs from that of an artificial cardiac pacemaker in that a VAD pumps blood , whereas a ...

  7. Arctic Sun medical device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Sun_medical_device

    The Arctic Sun has adhesive gel pads which stick to a patient's body, and cover only a portion of a patient's body to leave most of the body free for augmenting medical procedures. The device operates under negative pressure and circulates water through the adhesive pads at a temperature between 4–42 °C (39–108 °F).
