Probably could- there's certainly enough juice in one for the job. Problem
is, that they're very expensive (although prices are coming down), and the
current AEDs won't zap anyone unless they show certain types of heart
rhythms- they won't flash a flat-line.

Defibrillators function not by jump-starting the heart, as is so frequently
supposed, but by changing its rhythm from a non-useful rhythm (rather as if
you had your spark plugs in your car in the wrong order) to a useful rhythm
(as if you magicly got the order right),
