defibrillation

listen to the pronunciation of defibrillation
İngilizce - Türkçe
defibrilasyon
(Tıp) Kalp adalesindeki fibrilasyonun (atrila veya ventriküler) durdurulması ve normal kalp siklüsunun avdet ettirilmesi
İngilizce - İngilizce
the stopping of the fibrillation of the heart in order to restore normal contractions, especially by the use of an electric shock
the process of passing a DC electrical current through a fibrillating heart to depolarize a "critical mass" of myocardial cells, allowing them to depolarize uniformly, resulting in an organized rhythm This procedure is commonly referred to as "shocking" someones heart
The process of passing a DC electrical current through heart muscle fibers that have an electrical imbalance and are quivering instead of contracting in unison   If the current depolarizes the fibers uniformly, it will result in an organized rhythm
treatment by stopping fibrillation of heart muscles (usually by electric shock delivered by a defibrillator)
the conversion of fibrillation (an abnormal heart rhythm) to a normal rhythm by administration of a shock
An electrical shock applied to the chest to stop fibrillation
Defibrillation is the use of strong but controlled electric shocks to return the heart to a normal rhythm of contractions Defibrillation is used when the ventricles of a patient's heart are beating too quickly or erratically to effectively pump blood (ventricular fibrillation) The electrical shocks are applied by a machine called a defibrillator either through electrodes on the chest wall of a patient, or directly to the patient's heart See also Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators, AICDs
{i} use of electric shock to stop fibrillation of the heart muscle (Medicine)
the use of electric current to halt lethal cardiac arrhythmias i e , ventricular fibrillation and tachycardia
A procedure which passes an electric current through the heart to help it correct an improper heart rhythm based on incorrect signals the heart is sending to itself This can be done by the lay person with and AED, or by a Paramedic with a full Defibrillator
