Title:
【発明の名称】電気治療の電流波形
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001506157
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention provides a method and circuit for forming an electrotherapy current wave form. A charge storage device located externally of a patient's body is charged, and is discharged through the patient's body (24) through at least two discharge electrodes (21,23) connected by electrical circuitry to opposite poles of the charge storage device. A continuous discharge of the charge storage device through the electrodes is controlled so as to produce at least one phase of a current wave form that includes a ripple (14). The ripple has a height less than one third of the height of the peak current of the phase. The current wave form has a sensing pulse portion (10) that is integral with the therapeutic discharge portion of the current wave form.
