Defibrillation is an essential component of effective emergency cardiac care.
Fibrillation means rapid, uncoordinated contraction of individual heart muscle fibres, which results in the heart being unable to pump blood. Fibrillation may attack the upper or lower chambers of the heart. If it affects the lower chambers of the heart, the result is cardiac arrest. People who are saved from an attack of ventricular fibrillation are at high risk of it happening again. Medications may be prescribed to regulate the heart rhythm.
