Abstract
A defibrillator for providing both defibrillating energy and pacing energy to a patient is described. In delivering the defibrillating energy, electrical energy is stored by a charge capacitor and the stored energy is then coupled to the patient to provide a defibrillating pulse. To deliver pacing energy to a patient, an electrical energy circuit generates electrical energy that is filtered by the charge capacitor and delivered to the patient as pacing energy. The magnitude of the pacing energy delivered to the patient is monitored by a controller, which adjusts the generation of the electrical energy based on the magnitude of the pacing energy in order to provide adequate pacing energy to the patient.
