Types of Defibrillation
Manual defibrillation, used by trained medical personnel who interpret the heart rhythm themselves, allows immediate shock delivery in a hospital or ambulance setting. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), found in public spaces, automatically analyze the heart rhythm and guide even untrained bystanders through delivering a shock safely.
