ABSTRACT:
A defibrillator cable is provided in two separate embodiments. In one embodiment, the conventional paddles and their associated leads are replaced by the present defibrillator cable, which includes a discharge control device in the cable. In the other embodiment, a paddle adapter module is provided to permit use of the conventional paddles with the electrode set of the present invention. This paddle adapter has a pair of conducting plates against which the paddles may be pressed to complete an electrical conducting path for the defibrillator signals. An audible alarm is provided to let the operator known when appropriate contact between the paddles and the adapter plates has been achieved, as well as to warn other personnel that a high energy shock is to be applied. The paddle adapter may also be provided with an ECG output terminal connected to the defibrillator leads and provided with high voltage protection, a low pass filter and a body tissue impedance simulating circuit. In both embodiments, an extra pair of leads may be provided for an ECG-only connection that permits the use of smaller monitoring electrodes until defibrillation is required.
