Using a 110 outlet to restart a stopped heart is not advisable and can be extremely dangerous. A defibrillator is specifically designed to deliver a controlled electric shock to the heart in order to restore its normal rhythm.

The electrical energy provided by a defibrillator is carefully calibrated and delivered in a specific manner to minimize the risk of further damage to the heart.

In contrast, a 110 outlet (standard household electrical outlet) delivers alternating current (AC) electricity at a voltage of 110 volts. This voltage is significantly higher than the electrical energy delivered by a defibrillator, which typically ranges from 200 to 1000 volts.

The high voltage from a 110 outlet can cause severe harm to the body and may result in further injury or even death.

Furthermore, the electrical waveform produced by a 110 outlet is unsuitable for restarting a stopped heart.

A defibrillator delivers a biphasic waveform, which is specifically designed to maximize the chances of successful defibrillation. This waveform delivers an initial shock in one direction, followed by a second shock in the opposite direction. This helps to depolarize the heart muscle and restore its normal rhythm.

Attempting to use a 110 outlet to restart a stopped heart is not only ineffective but also highly dangerous. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention in the event of cardiac arrest and wait for trained professionals equipped with a defibrillator to provide the necessary treatment.
