Question

what does an internal electric diffribulator do?

Answer 1

its a pacemaker and it keeps your heart beating regularly and shocks it if it stops to restart it just like n outside defibrilater

Answer 2

Pacemaker is different from internal defibrillator, though they are usually encased in the same device. Pacemaker generates a continuous pulse of electricity that stimulates the heart's normal beating. Defibrillator usually stays dormant, until a life-threatening arrhythmia occurs. At that time, the defibrillator automatically shocks the heart (equivalent to what doctors to during heart attakcs with the paddles), usually terminating the arrhythmia and saving one's life.

Answer 3

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) — a pager-size device implanted in your chest like a pacemaker — may reduce your risk of cardiac arrest by continuously monitoring your heartbeat and delivering precisely calibrated electrical shocks to correct ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and restore a normal heartbeat

Answer 4

They are called pacemakers. They shock the heart to get it to resume normal beating.

Answer 5

usually only used when the doctors have you opened up on an operating table and your heart stops, small paddles that go straight on the heart!

Answer 6

Answer 7

it shocks your body to restart your heart or something.
