Need for Defibrillation
• Used to treat ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrest) loss of coordinated
contraction of muscle fibers in ventricles, death occurs in minutes if left
untreated.

Defibrillator Electrodes
• Usually from metal, 70-100 cm2 surface area
• must be coupled to skin using conductive material (otherwise can
burn patient)
Two types of electrodes:
• Hand-held: conductive gel must be manually applied, reusable.
• Adhesive : adhesive conducting material holds electrode to
skin, disposable

Hand-Held Defibrillators Electrodes
Electrodes used in cardiac defibrillation are in two shapes
(a) A spoon-shaped internal electrode that is applied directly to the
heart.
(b) A paddle-type electrode that is applied against the anterior chest
wall.

switch is under
operator control
In cardioverter, the
defibrillation pulse in
this case must be
synchronized with the R
wave of the ECG so that
it is applied to a patient
shortly after the
occurrence of the R
wave.
