We describe a useful technique for the management of life-threatening arrhythmias that occur during complex or reoperative cardiac surgical procedures when internal defibrillation cannot be achieved. Two self-adhesive external pads are attached to the patient before draping to enable the delivery of current for defibrillation or cardioversion without the need for removal of adhesive surgical drapes and the cumbersome use of external defibrillator paddles.
