Abstract
A dual-mode defibrillator has ECG electrodes connected to an ECG front end for producing signals for the controller to use in determining the defibrillator operation in accordance with the manual and automatic procedures stored in a memory. The controller provides appropriate signals to the high voltage delivery system which when energized, applies defibrillation energy to the electrodes.
