Defibrillation is indicated as soon as possible because early defibrillation and CPR increase the chance of survival.Regardless of the method of defibrillation,all personnel must avoid contact with the patient or bed during the shock delivery.Shocks are delivered without synchronization.Anterior paddle placement is used most often; however,the alternative method is anteroposterior placement.Defibrillators come in many models,and nurses must ensure they are familiar with the model in use on their unit.
