Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, the graphics that appear on existing electrodes generally limit their placement guidance to either adult or pediatric patients, for example to minimize confusion during the much more common adult cardiac rescue
But such graphics are only used to simplify electrode placement in case of matched patients, and can cause / cause confusion or delays in cases where the pattern type and patient differ from each other
For example, if universal electrodes are used on a pediatric patient, but only have adult placement markers, the rescuer must either recall a priori training or spend time, e.g. Illustrated apex-sternal adult placement
This problem can be exacerbated especially in defibrillators with mode switches

Embodiment Construction

[0057] first reference Figure 1a , according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a medical electrode system 100 is illustrated. In some aspects, the arrangement of electrode system 100 may be similar to the electrodes illustrated in commonly assigned US Patent Publication US 2007 / 0203558, entitled "Self-storing Medical Electrodes," the contents of which are incorporated by reference. exist Figure 1a In is shown two electrode pads 110, 210 disposed on a central release liner plate 411, hereinafter referred to as hard liner.

[0058] Hard liner 411 is a substantially rigid plate with release liner surfaces on both sides. Two electrode paddles 110, 210 are disposed on each side of the rigid backing 411 in face-to-face relationship with the patient-facing side of each paddle.

[0059] Each electrode pad 110 , 210 includes a respective lead wire 112 , 212 electrically attached to a conductive surface disposed on the substrate, on the patient-facing side 114 or 2...

Abstract

An electrode pad (110, 210) for a defibrillator has improved graphical instructions for placing the pad on a patient during rescue. The graphical indication may include both adult and pediatric pictures showing placement of the electrode pads. Thus, the graphic picture assists the rescuer in placing the electrode pads for both adult and pediatric patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an electrotherapeutic device and method for delivering a series of electrical shocks to the heart of a patient. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved automated external defibrillator (AED) and electrode set suitable for defibrillating patients of all ages. Background technique [0002] Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the industrialized world and is often caused by an arrhythmic condition known as ventricular fibrillation (VF), during which the patient's heart muscles exhibit extremely rapid uncoordination contraction, which prevents the heart from circulating blood. Statistically, after the first four minutes, a patient's chance of survival decreases by about 10% during each subsequent minute that they fail to receive treatment. [0003] One generally effective treatment for VF is electrical defibrillation, in which a defibrillator delivers elect...
