ABSTRACT:
A circuit for connecting a monitor/defibrillator to a patient and a method for monitoring the condition of the heart and for selectively applying a pulse of energy to the patient for defibrillation. A first and a second electrode are adhesively secured to the patient. The electrodes form an assembly which is coupled to a connection circuit leading to the monitor/defibrillator. A switch module is mounted on the connection circuit and is positioned remotely from the patient. The switch module has a plurality of operator-actuated switches which, when depressed, cause the monitor/defibrillator to provide a pulse of energy to the electrodes for defibrillation. The switches are arranged so that both hands of the operator are required to simultaneously close them, thereby assuring that the ends of the operator are remote from the patient during defibrillation.
