ABSTRACT:
Medical electrode arrangements are provided for electrotherapy and monitoring applications. In one embodiment, each electrode arrangement includes a smaller electrode that is releasably attached to the back of a larger electrode. For adult applications, the larger electrode is applied to the patient. For pediatric applications, the larger electrode is preferably removed, and the smaller electrode is applied to the patient. Face-to-face and back-to-back electrode arrangement configurations are also provided. In a further embodiment, an electrode arrangement is comprised of first and second conductive regions of a common substrate that are separable by a division line in the substrate. For adult applications, stored energy is conducted through both conductive regions. For pediatric applications, the second region of the substrate is removed along the division line. A sensing mechanism is also provided to detect whether the electrode arrangement has been placed in an adult or pediatric configuration.
