    Biomedical Instrumentation

    Q2 (ii).

    Q6 (i).
    In 1959, Bernard Lown began research into a new method which involved charging capacitors to
    roughly 1000 volts, which is then delivered to the patient as a heavily dampened sinusoidal wave
    using paddle electrodes. The Lawn waveform was the standard for defibrillation until the late
    1980s, when the method shifted to using a biphasic truncated waveform, also called a BTE
    waveform. The basis for todays defibrillators is the BTE waveform combined with automatic
    measurement of transthoracic impedance.
