A multifunction electrode (MFE) pad, which includes a multi-strand conductor having one end in the form of dispersed carbon fibers, and another end adapted for connection to a defibrillation unit. A conductive substrate is in electrical communication with one end of the multi-strand conductor. The conductive substrate includes a conductive back side, an intermediate conductive polymer layer, and a conductive front side, the front side being a metal/metal chloride coating containing at least 25% by weight of metal chloride. The MFE pad further includes a conductive hydrogel layer covering said front side of the conductive substrate and a backing layer covering one end of the multi-strand conductor and the back side of the conductive substrate. The backing layer has a surface area that is greater than the surface area of the conductive hydrogel layer.
