Abstract

Presents a method and apparatus for shaping the electrical waveform delivered by an external defibrillator based on an electrical parameter measured during delivery of the waveform. Software and hardware co-design allow embedding any one waveform and realizing it independently from transthoracic electrical impedance changes during shock time.
