2. Defibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation

   Self-adhesive electrodes come prefitted with gel. There is a general division of opinion over which type of electrode is superior in hospital settings; the American Heart Association favors neither, and all modern manual defibrillators used in hospitals allow for swift switching between self-adhesive pads and traditional paddles.

3. Skin electrode gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_electrode_gel

   A typical electrode gel consists of a mixture of water, a thickener such as polyvinyl alcohol or carboxymethyl cellulose, and an electrolyte to increase conductivity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some electrode gels have been shown to pose a potential fire risk when high-energy pulses are used, as for example when defibrillators are used.

4. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_Valley_Medical...

   Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, commonly known as Valley Medical Center or simply Valley Medical, is a prominent 731-bed public tertiary, teaching, and research hospital in San Jose, California. Located in the Fruitdale neighborhood of West San Jose , Valley Medical Center is the anchor facility of the Santa Clara County Health System ...

5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

   Two types of electrodes in common use are a flat paper-thin sticker and a self-adhesive circular pad. The former are typically used in a single ECG recording while the latter are for continuous recordings as they stick longer. Each electrode consists of an electrically conductive electrolyte gel and a silver/silver chloride conductor. [36]

6. Hyfrecator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyfrecator

   The hyfrecator does not require a dispersive return pad, referred-to in the electrosurgery field as a "ground pad," or "patient plate," because the hyfrecator can pass a very low-powered current between forceps tips via bipolar output, or pass an A.C. current between one pointed metal electrode probe and the patient, with the patient's self ...

7. Electroadhesion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroadhesion

   Electroadhesion [1] is the electrostatic effect of astriction between two surfaces subjected to an electrical field.Applications include the retention of paper on plotter surfaces, astrictive robotic prehension (electrostatic grippers), electroadhesive displays, [2] etc. Clamping pressures in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N/cm 2 (0.8 to 2.3 psi) have been claimed. [3]

8. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter...

   The device itself acts as an electrode. Most ICDs nowadays are implanted transvenously with the devices placed in the left pectoral region similar to pacemakers. Intravascular spring or coil electrodes are used to defibrillate. The devices have become smaller and less invasive as the technology advances.

9. Electrical impedance tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance...

   Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive type of medical imaging in which the electrical conductivity, permittivity, and impedance of a part of the body is inferred from surface electrode measurements and used to form a tomographic image of that part. Electrical conductivity varies considerably among various types of biological ...
