Abstract
A training electrode for use in training emergency personnel in electrocardiogram (EKG) defibrillation and monitoring is disclosed. An adhesive pad is fixedly attached to a connector comprising a connecting post and a connecting arm. Attached to the connecting arm is an electrical cable with a female-type adaptor at its distal end for connection to an electrocardiogram simulation signal generator. The connecting post inserts into a female-type adaptor from a defibrillator/monitor cable lead originating from a defibrillator/monitor. A detachable backing covers an adhesive surface of the adhesive pad such that the training electrode may be reused. Further, a training method is disclosed using the training electrode of the present disclosure and incorporating existing CPR mannequins and EKG simulation signal generators.
