Though the boy fainted, he was defibrillated and resuscitated when help arrived.

They defibrillated her with electric shocks, injected epinephrine and succeeded in reviving her.

Maybe a person's eyes can look like that but they can still be saved, defibrillated or CPR-ed back to life?

The heart was first defibrillated — shocked back into its natural rhythm — in 1947, and we can now implant defibrillators right into the heart.

Kimberly remembers that only the creation of a 'new life' can defeat Death. She drives into a lake to drown herself, but is defibrillated and revived by Dr. Kalarjian, creating 'new life'. Later, Kimberly and Burke have a picnic with the Gibbons and Kimberly's father. The Gibbonses explain that their son Brian was nearly hit by a news van after Rory saved him earlier.

The 1981 assassination attempt was costlier to his overall health than was generally known by the public at the time. Rushed to the Agostino Gemelli University Polyclinic to undergo emergency surgery, he experienced profound bleeding leading to a dangerous fall in blood pressure and to cardiac arrest, which was however successfully defibrillated. He received the Anointing of the Sick (formerly known as "Last Rites"). Despite difficulties with extensive blood transfusions, which are speculated to have transmitted cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, surgery was eventually successful.

During his 14th game with Medveščak, Rivers suffered a ruptured spleen after completing a check. After initially going undiagnosed, a few days later Rivers was rushed to hospital and underwent emergency surgery. Suffering a large amount of internal bleeding, Rivers' heart stopped before he was electronically defibrillated back to life. Rivers was ruled out for the remainder of the season and returned to St. Louis, where he now lives with his wife Shannon, 13-year-old daughter Karson, 10-year-old twin boys Ashton and Braydon, and 5-year-old McKinnon.

In 1985, at the age of 22, MacLaren lost his left leg below the knee in a motorcycle accident, and had to be defibrillated. He recovered, and went on to run the marathon in 3 hours, 16 minutes, and to finish the Ironman Hawaii in 10 hours, 42 minutes. Then, in 1993, during the Orange County Triathlon, MacLaren was struck by a van during the bike portion of the race and collided with a signpost, rendering him a quadriplegic. MacLaren's accident inspired members of the running community to raise funds to allow him to purchase a van he could drive with his hands.

Only the cardiac arrest rhythms ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia are normally defibrillated. The purpose of defibrillation is to depolarize the entire heart all at once so that it is synchronized, effectively inducing temporary asystole, in the hope that in the absence of the previous abnormal electrical activity, the heart will spontaneously resume beating normally. Someone who is already in asystole cannot be helped by electrical means, and usually needs urgent CPR and intravenous medication. (A useful analogy to remember is to think of defibrillators as power cycling, rather than jump-starting, the heart.) There are also several heart rhythms that can be "shocked" when the patient is not in cardiac arrest, such as supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia that produces a pulse; this more-complicated procedure is known as cardioversion, not defibrillation.
