Incorporating defibrillation into Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) significantly enhances survival rates for victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The critical factor in improving outcomes lies in time-to-defibrillation. The defibrillator administers a shock measured in joules to the heart at precisely the right moment.
