ABSTRACT:
A method and device for efficient defibrillation, to be utilized in external defibrillation machines, capable of being utilized with 2, 3, or more defibrillation electrodes. The method and device achieve the efficient defibrillation by ensuring that the defibrillation machine energizes the patient with the waveform which is optimum for the number of defibrillation electrodes in use. The method and device accomplishes this by (1) sensing the number of defibrillation electrodes in use, and by (2) selecting the optimum defibrillation waveform for energization of the sensed number of defibrillation electrodes in use.
