Abstract
Method and apparatus for discharging a defibrillation discharge circuit 30 across a short circuit load 166 for monitoring defibrillation pulses 180 generated by the circuit to test that the pulses are acceptable. The discharge circuit 30 comprises an electrical capacitor 34 for storing defibrillation pulse energy and an electrical inductor 38 in series with the capacitor for shaping the discharge pulses. In the invention, parameters representative of the shape of the defibrillation pulse are detected as the pulse is discharged and are compared to predetermined values characteristic of the shape of an acceptable pulse. Based on the outcome of this comparison, an output is provided indicating whether the pulse is acceptable.
