What does v fifth mean It may be spelled wrong When someone flatlines or something?
Do you mean defib? "Flatline" is what the screen looks like when a person's heartbeat is registering on a monitor and the heart has stopped. A defibrilator is an electrical device that shocks the heart into beating again. You see this on medical dramas all the time. Two paddles are placed on the patient's chest and the electrical current is turned on briefly. Of course, for dramatic purposes it never works the first time so the doctor calls for a higher voltage and shocks the patient again.
