THE FIRST PORTABLE DEFIBRILLATOR

Frank Pantridge • LITFL • Medical Eponym Library

Dr. J. Frank Pantridge was a cardiologist at Royal Victoria
Hospital in Belfast. He knew that people who die from heart
attacks often do so within an hour of the attack. So in 1965,
Pantridge developed the first portable defibrillator and had
it installed in an ambulance.

His invention has helped paramedics around the world save
many lives.
