1. An apparatus for delivering an external shock pulse, comprising:
- a first input for receiving pacing pulses from a first device enabled to deliver the pacing pulses at a pulse energy;
a second input for receiving a shock pulse from a second device;
an output for coupling the apparatus to electrodes coupled to a patient;
a pacing control for controlling delivery of the received pacing pulses to the output;
a shock control for controlling delivery of the received shock pulse to the output; and
a control module coupled to the pacing control and the shock control;
the control module, the pacing control and the shock control configured to cooperatively control delivery of the received shock pulse to the output at a predetermined delay after one of the received pacing pulses.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for delivering an external shock pulse receive pacing pulses generated by a first device and a shock pulse generated by a second device. An output of the apparatus is coupled to patient electrodes and the apparatus controls delivery of the received pacing pulses to the output and delivery of the received shock pulse to the output. A control module, pacing control and shock control included in the apparatus cooperatively control delivery of the received shock pulse to the output at a predetermined delay after one of the received pacing pulses.
