<p>Physiological electrode systems utilize a single pair of electrodes elements (31, 33) to convey signals for monitoring stimulating and treating the patient. The monitoring instrument (35), the stimulating instrument (39) and the therapeutic instrument (37) may be connected to the electrode elements (31, 33) separately or in various combinations. Preferably the electrode elements (31, 33) are disposable and are connected to the instruments (35, 37, 39) by appropriate interrelated cables (41,43,47,49,51) to permit individual or simultaneous use of the instruments without adverse operation. An electrode element structure (Fig. 4) employing layers of tin (71) and stannous chloride (72) greatly benefits system operation. A method of locating the electrodes (31, 33) for defibrillation is also included (Figs. 16-17). </p> |
