A cardiostimulator of the 23rd century

A cardiostimulator of the 24th century

The cardiostimulator was a Federation medical device used to restart a stopped heart.

In 2154, Doctor Phlox attempted to use cardiostimulators to save Major Hayes. Unfortunately, the major's injuries were too extensive, and he died. (ENT: "Countdown")

In 2268, Doctor Leonard McCoy used a portable version of the device aboard the USS Enterprise during an operation on Ambassador Sarek, after the power to sickbay had failed and the operating table's own cardiostimulator had ceased functioning. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")

In 2371, The Doctor used a cardiostimulator to revive Commander Chakotay after his bio-neural energy was displaced by the Komar. (VOY: "Cathexis")

In 2378, Tom Paris used a cardio-stimulator to cajole the heart of Brin's son to life. Although the initial charge of 3 millijoules was unsuccessful, the second charge set at 5 millijoules was successful. (VOY: "Friendship One")

Doctor [[Leonard McCoy]] used a portable version of the device aboard the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|USS ''Enterprise'']] during an operation on Ambassador [[Sarek]], after the power to [[sickbay]] had failed and the operating table's own cardiostimulator had ceased functioning.  This implies that surgery tables (and possibly sickbay tables as well, in future designs) are routinely equipped with cardiostimulators.  The device may be a descendant of the modern-day defibrillator.  ([[TOS]]: "[[Journey to Babel]]")
