Abstract: The defibrillator pad system of the present invention includes a pair of pads which can be adhered to electrodes of defibrillator paddles. Wires are connected to these pads and lead to two separate electrode pads which are adapted to be attached to the patient's chest. The defibrillator paddles can thus be used to defibrillate the patient while the defibrillator paddles are remote from the patient. A pair of plug members are provided between the two pairs of pads so that they can be disconnected from one another.
Abstract: The defibrillator pad of the present invention comprises a lower layer of electrically conductive tacky polymer and an upper layer of filamentous carbon fabric. The pad is placed on the patient's chest with the polymer layer facing downwardly in contact with the patient's chest and with the carbon layer facing upwardly for engagement with the electrodes of the defibrillator paddles.
