Abstract:
1. A method of external cardiac defibrillation wherein at least two electrodes, namely a first electrode and a second electrode, are connected to a piezo-electric source, said piezo-electric source located outside patient's body, wherein said first and said second electrode each are introduced into said patient's body deeper than said patient's outer skin layer, wherein said electrodes are capable of forming a closed electrical circuit from said piezo-electric source to said first electrode, through said patient's body to said second electrode, back to said piezo-electric source, wherein said piezo-electric source comprises a piezo-electric generator, wherein electrical energy is generated by applying mechanical stress to said piezo-electric generator, wherein an electrical current from said piezo-electric generator is passed through said patient's heart to effect defibrillation, wherein electrical impedance of said patient's skin is bypassed by said electrodes.
