Abstract:
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 a first combination circuit including a circuit node electrically coupled to the adapter, the circuit node further coupled to the monitoring node and to the therapy node, the coupling to the therapy node including a capacitor; and a wire lead connected between the circuit node of the first combination circuit and the adaptor, the wire lead providing a single communication channel between the defibrillator and the electrode for transmission of both the ECG of the patient from the monitoring segment and the charge from the defibrillator to the therapy segment.
