The electrical defibrillator has been proven to be a life-saving device in the treatment of cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. An understanding of the physiology and technology behind this device is useful for providers of emergency care. In this article, we review the current concepts in electrical defibrillation and briefly discuss the developmental history. The physiology and the technical considerations will make up the bulk of the discussion. The latest developments in electrical defibrillation also will be reviewed.
电除颤器已被证明是治疗因室性心动过速或心室颤动导致的心脏骤停的一种挽救生命的设备。了解该设备背后的生理学和技术对急救护理人员很有帮助。在本文中，我们回顾了电除颤的当前概念并简要讨论了其发展历史。生理学和技术考量将构成讨论的主要内容。我们还将回顾电除颤的最新进展。
