1. An ECG monitor comprising:
- a plurality of electrical connections including at least one electrode, the electrical connections being couplable to a skin surface to measure patient heartbeat signals;
a power source;
at least one current-limiting defibrillation protection resistor, said at least one current-limiting defibrillation protection resistor comprising a resistor screened onto a substrate; and
an ECG electronics module, the ECG electronics module receiving and processing patient heartbeat signals from the plurality of electrical connections,wherein the at least one current-limiting defibrillation protection resistor is electrically disposed between at least one of the plurality of electrical connections and the ECG electronics module.

Abstract
A method for providing high voltage circuit protection for a patient monitor. The method includes providing a substrate that supports one or more electrical connections to a patient'"'"'s body. The method further includes determining a print pattern and thickness of a first material having a first resistivity to be printed on the substrate, determining a print pattern and thickness of a second material having a second resistivity to be printed on the substrate, printing the first material onto the substrate, and printing the second material onto the substrate wherein at least part of the second the material overlays the first material.
