Cardiac fibrillation describes the deterioration of the heart’s electrical activity, which drives the heart’s periodic pumping. This electrical activity, which is usually organized, becomes ...
Drones might prove a feasible way to deliver lifesaving defibrillators to cardiac arrests in remote areas, a new research simulation suggests. Delivering automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by ...
Victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can be saved with a small, prompt lightning bolt (i.e., a defibrillator shock) to the chest. The shock (3 to 5 kV and 50 A) stops the heart from unproductive ...
