DefiMonitor XD
The anterior posterior position has the advantage that the stimulation intensity will be
lower and therefore the cheat muscles will be less stimulated. This has a positive in-
fluence on the physical comfort of the patient.
If the anterior-posterior position is contraindicated (e.g. if the onset of ventricular fib-
rillation is likely), alternatively the anterior - anterior position might be used.
The position corresponds to the paddle position during defibrillation.
