1. A defibrillation electrode comprising:
- a non-volatile memory element; and
at least one of a circuit and software configured to store, in the non-volatile memory element, at least one parameter associated with a use of the defibrillation electrode,wherein the defibrillation electrode is configured to be directly electrically connected with a first defibrillator such that the first defibrillator provides a signal indicative of the at least one parameter associated with the use of the defibrillation electrode to the non-volatile memory element; and
wherein the defibrillation electrode is configured to be directly electrically connected with a second defibrillator to read the at least one parameter associated with the use of the defibrillation electrode.

Abstract
Methods and systems of applying treatment to a subject experiencing cardiac distress. In one example, there is provided a defibrillation electrode. The defibrillation electrode includes a non-volatile memory element and a circuit configured to store an indication of a level of energy delivered to a subject during the application of a defibrillation shock to the subject in the non-volatile memory element.
