Abstract
A method is provided for cardioverting or defibrillating a patient's heart. A plurality of electrodes is positioned on a plurality of different locations on the patient. Different sets of the plurality of electrodes are pulsed with a plurality of pulses within a maximum time period of 200 milliseconds. By using multiple, relatively low energy shocks to different locations instead of a single large shock, there is significantly less trauma to the patient, and during cardioversion the use of anesthesia may be avoided.
