The AED output is in joules (J); an energy output. Energy is an Amp Ohm divided by time. Although AED's may vary on their output, depending on numerous criteria, some AED's will shock at 200J, then 300J, then 360J.
biphasic have lower waveform compared to monophasic
A defibrillator brings the cells of the heart back into a unified and timed contraction by introducing a electrical charge ( measured in joules which are equivalent to a one-amp-second of amplitude).
A ventilator is turned off after death not a defibrillator.

A defibrillator. Can be either monophasic or biphasic.

Biphasic waves are electrical signals that alternate in direction, oscillating between positive and negative phases. They are commonly seen in certain types of medical devices, such as defibrillators, where they are used to deliver a controlled shock to the heart to restore normal rhythm. Biphasic waves are believed to be more effective and safer than monophasic waves for cardioversion.
To calculate the power in watts, simply divide the energy in joules by the time taken to deliver that energy. If 200 joules of energy are delivered in 0.2 seconds during cardioversion, the power would be 200 Joules / 0.2 seconds = 1000 watts.

Usually between 120-200. The older ones delivered much more, some as high as 400 joules, but they also had a tendency of giving the patient third degree burns.

This type of defibrillation is known as impedance-compensated biphasic defibrillation. The defibrillator analyzes the patient's transthoracic impedance to tailor the energy setting for an optimized shock delivery, increasing the chances of restoring a normal heart rhythm successfully.
A defibrillator should typically deliver an initial energy of around 150-200 joules for ventricular fibrillation, and up to 360 joules for refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The specific energy level will depend on the device and the patient's condition.
Defibrillation also known as cardioversion.
Most often, cardioversion is used to treat atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Life-saving cardioversion can be used to treat ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
