what do you call the equipment that brings back the heartbeat of a person?

it can be seen on different TV shows or movies.
it is also used when a patient is soon to die.
Answers:
A defibrillator is a medical device used in the defibrillation of the heart. It consists of a central unit and a set of two electrodes. The central unit provides a source of power and control. The two electrodes are placed directly on or in the patient. The device is designed to deliver an electric shock to the patient, in an effort to stop ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a cardiac condition that consists of a lack of coordination of the contraction of the muscle tissue of the large chambers of the heart that eventually leads to the heart stopping altogether.As you can see the defibrillator doesn't actually start a stopped heart, it only corrects the poor pumping action of the heart.

The cardiac defibrilator. Heart muscles stop working when circulation is interrupted, because it stops generating electrical impulses. An external electric impulse may start a group of muscles in these situations. If circulation is thus restored, there is a chance of surviving the event. The defibrilator provides an external electric impulse for these situations.
The device is called a cardiac defibrillator. When the heart is in atrial fibrillation the heart muscle is suffering from muscle spasm and does not pump blood in and out of the heart in normal fashion. The defibrillator send a electric shock through the heart to interupt the spasms and start normal cardiac function.
