Defibrillation If the ECG analysis indicates defibrillation (pulseless ventricular tachycardia pVT or ventricular fibrillation VF), the MEDUCORE Easy prepares to deliver a shock. Afterwards the device instructs the user to administer a shock. For other heart rhythms, the device informs the user that they should carry out a heart-lung revival.
