An electrical conductor used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator to a pre-pubescent patient in order to defibrillate the heart (restore a normal rhythm) or slow a rapid heart rate. It usually consists of a cable set that terminates with small-diameter, hand-operated electrodes (paddles) that are held by the operator to the chest (the intact torso) of the patient so that the discharge passes across the region of the heart. Typically available as a set of two electrodes with a combined cable/connector, or as a single electrode with cable/connector, in which case two will be connected to the external pulse generator (EPG). This is a reusable device.
