This online defibrillator simulator is for a hospital defibrillator (also known as a manual or external defibrillator) used by clinicians, not an automatic external defibrillator (AED) for use by lay persons.
The interactive simulator includes clicking and dragging defibrillator electrode pads for placement on the skin of a 3D virtual patient and operating a defibrillator to perform synchronized cardioversion, defibrillation, and transcutaneous pacing when clinically indicated.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) with normal sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation (AFIB), ventricular fibrillation (VFIB), and third-degree heart block is simulated and displayed in the defibrillator interface. Users can alter current, pacing rate, energy used for shock, and the mode of the defibrillator and observe the effects of their actions.
