Mankind have been experimenting with defibrillator technology for over 200 years. Now are where with there being different forms of defibrillators and some of even tell how to work it, where to place each pad, when to shock the person, and tell when it's getting a reading on the victim to decide whether it is necessary for the machine to defibrillate. also have the defibrillators in the hospitals where use metal pads and they have to judge the electric jolt by the size of the patient.
The first capitator that was able to store electric energy in a glass container was discovered in 1745. Possibly the first description of the first successful resuscitation with the use of electric shock was reported by Charles Kile in 1788, when a 3-year-old girl a victim of a fall, was shocked through the chest by an electric generator and a Leyden jar by a Mr. Squries of London (Caklevu).

Most victims of sudden cardiac arrest need an electric shock called defibrillation. Each minute defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival by 10 percent (first aid, 118). Which means people who fall into cardiac arrest need to be attended to immediately in order for them to have a chance to be saved and be able to walk out of the hospital. Each year about 250,000 Americans die from cardiac arrest, which can result from heart attack, underlying heart disease, or accidents among other causes. While such deaths happen in the home, roughly 20 percent occur in public places, and 95 percent of the victims die even before reaching the hospital. Between 300,000 and 400,000 people experience sudden cardiac arrest in a non-hospital environment every year (Greater access to
