Abstract
A pulse routing circuit for use in conjunction with a multiple channel defibrillator. The circuit, when coupled to a multiple channel defibrillator allows for the selection of a wide variety of multiple electrode pulse regimens and waveforms, accomplished by selective interconnection of defibrillation electrodes to the pulse routing circuit. Because the circuit employs passive switching elements, such as diodes, complex switching circuitry is not required.
