How does the shock "fix" SCA?

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
The delivery of an electrical shock to a heart experiencing SCA briefly stops all electrical activity in the heart. This brief "break" from the previous electrical chaos can be enough for the heart to restart beating with a normal rhythm. Not everyone can be saved from SCA, even with defibrillation. But early defibrillation, especially when delivered within three minutes of a person's collapse from SCA, does provide the best chance.

The Anthropik Network & 5 Common Objections to Primiti...
All valid questions… but totally irrelevant to whether band-level society is the most practical and adaptive way for humans to live… rather I would say those questions relate to whether we have already caused too much damage to survive, ourselves. I find it interesting that so many primitivists are folks who have had the absolute best in life and had the world handed to them on a silver platter. If I hadn’t wanted to, I wouldn’t have had to work a day in my life.

What should I do after a shock?

ZAP•FAQ
Sit down, if you’re not already sitting or lying down! If the first shock doesn’t correct the problem you may receive another. You want to avoid further injury as you may fall onto something. Your doctor should have given you instructions on how to proceed. Generally, if you have received multiple shocks they will want to see you immediately. If you have a single shock and you feel fine, you should still give your EP office a call.

Being dislodged means almost certain death for a head louse so they will avoid this if at all possible. They don't wander on to furniture or clothes very often as this would result in the death of the louse in most cases.
