Defibrillation is a method of emergency medicine that can stop ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. An electricity is used to reset the electrical state of the heart so that heart beat will have rhythm controlled by its pacemaker. This is not used in asystole and pulseless electrical activity. Defibrillator is used to give an electric shock to the heart. This depolarizes the muscles in the heart which stops the dysrhythmia, the SA node can eventually produce its own electrical impulse which establish the normal sinus rhythm of the heart. Cardioversion can also be done to provide normal rhythm in poorly perfusing cardiac dysrthymias. 

Defibrillators can be implanted, external, transvenous depending on the type of devide used or needed in the current situation.

Reasons why the queen is the most important in the hive.<br> (No LINK)
Alex

Answer:

I assume you are referring to bees?

Explanation:

From what I know and this is just surface level knowledge, she is the one who births the hive and usually designates their purpose once she has laid the eggs. She herself does not do much, she is just the one that the infrastructure of the hive follows in maintaining the hive itself. I hope this helps. Good luck!
