Abstract

During cardioversion, skin burns result from current preferentially flowing at the electrode edge. We tested new electrodes with high perimeter impedance to yield more uniform current distribution; these electrodes reduced histopathologic skin injury.

摘要

在心脏复律期间，皮肤烧伤是由电流优先在电极边缘流动所致。我们测试了具有高周边阻抗的新型电极，以产生更均匀的电流分布；这些电极减少了组织病理学上的皮肤损伤。
