Abstract
One aspect relates to defibrillating an individual potentially in an absence of any human assistance including that from the individual. Another aspect relates to positioning an electrode in electrical proximity to an individual when the individual is in an unusual defibrillating position; and applying a defibrillating charge to the individual at least partially via the electrode when the individual is in the unusual defibrillating position. Yet another aspect relates to securing at least one defibrillating electrode outside of a material associated with an individual relative to the individual; and extending at least one extensible electric contact(s) from the at least one defibrillating electrode through the material into an electric contact with at least a portion of the individual.
