Signs You May Need Defibrillation
Sudden collapse with loss of consciousness, absence of a pulse, and no normal breathing are the defining signs that prompt defibrillation, usually identified through an ECG monitor or automated external defibrillator (AED) reading a shockable rhythm. There are no warning symptoms beforehand in most cases since the arrhythmia itself causes sudden collapse.
