Well it's that or the Action Comics method.

Alliteration for everyone!

FYI: Defibrillators don't start the heart, they stop it.

The heart doesn't stop in many heart attacks. Instead it just beats erratically and in a way that doesn't pump blood well. Shocking the heart to stop it (what a defib does) causes the nerve cells to "reboot" and start beating regularly again.

Shocking a victim who's heart has stopped is useless and automatic defibrillators won't go off until they've detected the arrhythmia.

I blame House MD for this common misconception

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Yes, thank you, I'm glad you mentioned it here, it doesn't happen often enough. I mean, it's even in the name, right? Defibrillator gets rid of fibrillation - the erratic beating!

It's a travesty that they aren't called "Fuzzy Buzzies"

You can thank the US Army for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCR-300

Huh, I thought defibrillators were for arrhythmias, but it's also for cardiac arrest.

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

It should be called Hearty Stoppy. That's what they do. Stop your heart so it can reboot in safe mode.

Yup, and it fucking sucks (better than dying though) to have one used on you.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 hours ago
