Abstract
Defibrillators are used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, including
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Ventricular Tachycardia, and Atrial
Fibrillation (AF). They provide an electric impulse to the patient' s heart,
which results in restoring of the normal heart rhythm, thus resolving the
arrhythmia. The scope of this report includes the global market for
Defibrillators. The Defibrillators are categorized as follows:
- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) - Implantable
Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are small battery-powered devices
subcutaneously-implanted in patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. An
electrode wire is connected to the right chambers of the heart through a vein,
which constantly monitors the speed of the heart-beats and also the rhythm of
the pumping heart-chambers. It is also capable of automatically detecting
cardiac arrhythmia and providing electric impulse to correct the condition.
- External Defibrillators (EDs) - The External Defibrillators (EDs)
include manual external defibrillators, automatic external defibrillators
(AEDs), and wearable defibrillators. The manual external defibrillators are
used by healthcare professionals, while the AEDs can be used without any prior
training, as they provide step-wise instructions to the user. The wearable
defibrillators can be worn like vests to provide defibrillation when needed.
