AB Defibrillation  is  the  therapeutic  use  of  electricity  to  depolarize  the  myocardium  so  coordinated  contractions  can  occur.  The  term  defibrillation  is  usually  applied  to  an  attempt  to  terminate  a  nonperfusing  rhythm  (e.g.,  ventricular  fibrillation  or  pulseless  ventricular  tachycardia).
