Electrical shocks applied to asystolic hearts to restart them is a classic.

The shock serves to stop fibrillation and to induce a rhythmic firing of the neves, that's why it's called defibrillation. Fibrillation is random firing of the nerves, asystole is no firing.

If I recall correctly my father told me you use an injection of adrenaline for asystolic hearts. Kind of like in Pulp Fiction. Though I think injecting directly into the heart isn't the preferred method anymore.

I watched a show talking about adrenalin and injecting it into the heart, the doctor was saying how it would be the worst place to try and go first because damage but also because you'd be more likely to hit a rib or puncture a lung then actually make it through the heart.
