Defibrillation is the termination of a lethal irregular cardiac rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF). This rhythm is the most common cause of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). A brief pulse of electrical current is sent to a heart in ventricular fibrillation to stop the VF, that is, to de-fibrillate the heart. A biphasic waveform is a new way to deliver this pulse of electrical current. Monophasic waveform defibrillators preceded biphasic waveforms and have been the standard of care for external defibrillators up to now. With a monophasic waveform defibrillator, the current flows in on
