| What is the rational for resuming CPR with chest compressions after a shock? | defibrillation does not restart the heart. It stops nonproductive rhythms such as VF and VT. If the heart is still viable, the pacemaker may resume activity, however it takes several minutes for the heart to create perfusion. Compressions fill in the gap.
