What is a defbrillator made of?

Defibrillator Components:

1. Capacitors: These store electrical energy.

2. Electrodes: These deliver the electrical shock to the patient's heart.

3. Battery: Provides power to the defibrillator.

4. Display Screen: Shows the patient's heart rhythm, vital signs, and other relevant information.

5. Control Panel: Located on the front of the defibrillator, it allows the operator to select the appropriate energy level, mode of operation (e.g., manual or automated), and other settings.

6. Charging Circuit: Charges the capacitors to the desired energy level.

7. Discharge Circuit: Releases the stored energy from the capacitors through the electrodes.

8. Safety Features: Includes alarms, warning lights, and interlocks to prevent accidental shocks or injury to the patient or operator.

The type of defibrillator (manual or automated) may have additional components or variations in design, but these core elements are generally present in both types. Also, the materials used in the construction of a defibrillator, including its housing and internal components, can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer.
