1. A defibrillator electrode system comprising an electrode pad having:
- an elongated flexible substrate adapted to be applied across a chest of a patient, the elongated flexible substrate having a first end and a second end;
a first and a second electrode disk capable of delivering a defibrillation shock in electrical communication disposed on the elongated flexible substrate, wherein the first electrode is disposed on the elongated flexible substrate at the first end and the second electrode is disposed on the elongated flexible substrate at the second end;
at least one sensor for detecting CPR compressions disposed on the elongated flexible substrate between the first and second electrode disk; and
a first and a second conductive gel layer adhered to the first and second electrode disks.

Abstract
This invention is directed to a medical electrode system having a flexible substrate with two electrodes in electrical communication disposed at either end along its length. The electrode system also has one or more sensors for detecting the rate and pressure at which CPR is administered. The electrode is adjustable in length and protects the user from the potential of incidental shock when using the electrode in conjunction with a defibrillator.
