This video explains the difference between synchronized cardioversion and defibrillation. It delineates the indications for both procedures and the absolute and relative refractory periods as well as the different parts of the defibrillator.
PLEASE NOTE: A PATIENT IN VFIB WILL NEVER HAVE A PULSE SO ONLY DEFIBRILLATION IS INDICATED!
