Overview
Open Interventions → Electricity. Choose the Defibrillation action. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.
Unsynchronized electrical shock terminates shockable ventricular electrical activity. Successful electrical termination may or may not restore circulation.
The paused reference covers the route (External defibrillator pads in unsynchronized mode.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.
What to monitor in the reference: Pulse/perfusion and ECG; CPR and reversible-cause treatment remain essential in cardiac arrest. ROSC is not guaranteed.
