Researchers at MIT have developed a metal-free electrode using conductive polymers. The electrode is flexible and strong enough for long-term implantation in the body. The device is intended as an advanced replacement for rigid metal electrodes that can cause tissue damage and scarring over the long term, leading to device failure. The new technology required quite a bit of refinement to achieve the correct properties of flexibility, strength, and electrical conductivity.

EMS was dispatched for a 30-something male who feels his heart is racing. Sudden onset. The patient had no previous medical history. Vitals were normal except for a heart rate of 226. A prehospital 12-lead was recorded: There is a regular wide complex tachycardia. The computer diagnosed this as Ventricular Tachycardia. Is it definitely VT?? The patient was given 6mg, then 12 mg, of adenosine, without a change in the rhythm.
