Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrode for use with an external defibrillator for a patient includes a first combination circuit including a circuit node electrically coupled to an adapter for coupling to the defibrillator. The circuit node is further coupled to a monitoring node defined by a monitoring segment of a first pad of the electrode and to a therapy node defined by a therapy segment of the first pad of the electrode. The therapy segment is electrically insulated from the monitoring segment. The first combination circuit further includes a capacitor coupled between the circuit node and the therapy node. The electrode of this disclosure hence provides additional solutions for reducing ECG artifact during the operation of the electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An electrode for use with an external defibrillator for a patient, comprising: a first pad including a monitoring segment for receiving an ECG of the patient and defining a monitoring node, the first pad further including a therapy segment for delivering a charge to the patient from the defibrillator, the therapy segment electrically insulated from the monitoring segment, the therapy segment defining a therapy node; an adapter for coupling to the defibrillator; and…
