Defibrillation is necessary when a heart starts to beat so fast that very little blood can be pumped out to the body. An AED uses an electric shock to help the heart return to its normal rhythm
The A in AED has to do with automatic detection of a rhythm needing a shock to reset the heart and let the natural pacemaker take over
