DC is how defibrillators work. stops the heart (contracts) then releases it and hopefully normal rhythm follows. 440 AC will knock you away where 120 AC will hold you. It's the frequency that does you in but it usually has to travel through your body rather than just through your hand.

Yes also I heard it was a common hollywood misconception to defib on flatlines, apparently they use drugs for flatlines(like artificial adrenaline I think?) and defibs are for irregular dangerous heart rhythms.
Feel free to add on anyone more well versed in this.
