Lab Research: The only "safe" ventricular fibrillation is the kind i create in the research lab where the heart's already in a petri dish. That said, we do test implanted defibrillators sometimes by starting vfib and letting the device detect and convert it back to normal rhythm. If the device fails, though, we'll shock the patient externally immediately after - vfib is never safe for more than a few sec.
