Defibrillators:

There are different types of defibrillators, including manual defibrillators and automated external defibrillators (AEDs). AEDs are designed to be used by anyone, while manual defibrillators require advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training. AEDs can assess the need for defibrillation, while some types of defibrillators cannot. AEDs can be used for defibrillation, diagnosing heart rhythm, and fatal cardiac arrhythmias. In contrast, a defibrillator is used in defibrillation, heart arrhythmias, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation
