The starting joules should be 100-120. This will generally result in 90% first shock success in patients with persistent A-Fib.

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 ventilator is turned off after death not a defibrillator.
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).
Take the defibrillator and start it to safe your health
