Defibrillation is appropriate for ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia in pediatric cardiac arrest. It is not indicated for asystole or pulseless electrical activity. Prompt defibrillation increases survival chances. ;
The electric device delivers a current of 15.0 A for 30 seconds, resulting in a total charge of 450 C. This corresponds to approximately 2.81 × 10²¹ electrons flowing through the device. Thus, the device allows a significant number of electrons to pass during its operation.
