What is another word for defibrillation?
Pronunciation: [dɪfˌɪbɹɪlˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Defibrillation is a medical procedure used to restore a fast or irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm. Some synonyms for the term defibrillation include cardioversion, electrical cardioversion, and electric shock therapy. These terms are often used interchangeably with defibrillation to describe the same medical intervention. Cardioversion and electric shock therapy are typically used in cases where the heart is experiencing a fast but regular rhythm, while defibrillation is used in cases of irregular and potentially life-threatening heart rhythms such as ventricular fibrillation. All of these terms refer to the use of an electrical shock to restore the heart's normal rhythm and prevent cardiac arrest.
