摘要：
Defibrillation is the definitive treatment for cardiac arrest. Until relatively recently the use of defibrillators was restricted to medical staff and paramedics. The development of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) now means that this life-saving equipment may be used by anyone with a short period of training. This article will review the patho-physiology of cardiac arrest, the use of AEDs and their significance to the dental team. A medical emergency could happen at any time in the dental practice. Cardiac arrest is the most serious emergency that can occur. Whilst life-threatening incidents are very rare, the dental team requires to be trained in the management of a cardiac arrest.
