Defibrillation is a medical procedure that delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart to stop dangerous arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation, and allow the heart's natural rhythm to reset. It's performed using devices like automated external defibrillators (AEDs), found in public spaces, or manual defibrillators used by paramedics and hospital staff. It's a critical, potentially life-saving intervention during cardiac arrest, and many workplaces train employees in CPR and AED use.
