-
Defibrillation
-

Early defibrillation is an important step in the Cardiac Chain of Survival for all of the reasons below EXCEPT:
Answer

Delivering an electrical shock disrupts the electrical activity of the heart long enough to allow the heart to spontaneously develop an effective rhythm on its own.

Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival by about ten percent.

EMS personnel can transport the victim to the hospital more quickly.
