1. A method of defibrillating a mammal in need of defibrillation comprising:
- (a) first determining the mammal'"'"'s fibrillation cycle length; and
(b) then administering to said mammal a plurality of bursts of electrical current delivered sequentially to said mammal, adjusting the timing between said bursts based upon said mammal'"'"'s fibrillation cycle length.

26. A method of defibrillating a mammal in need of defibrillation comprising:
-
(a) first determining the mammal'"'"'s fibrillation cycle length; and (b) then administering to said mammal two bursts of electrical current delivered sequentially to said mammal;
the current of each burst being from about 4 amps to about 10 amps;
the voltage of each burst being from about 200 volts to about 300 volts;
the duration of each burst being from about 8 milliseconds to about 15 milliseconds; and
