What Are Defibrillators?

A defibrillator is device that monitors the heart beat rate of a person. It gives out an electrical impulse of a very high amount of energy to stop at a very fast rate and the abnormal rate of heart beats. It returns the heart into a normal rhythm. It can either be placed externally, that is on the chest of the person, or internally, that is surgically placed inside the chest of the person.
