Biphasic Energy
Related Terms: Cardioversion, Monophasic Energy
Current from a defibrillator is delivered two ways. Biphasic therapy was introduced in the 1990s and lowers the electrical threshold for successful defibrillation. Biphasic waveforms are much safer and more effective than the older monophasic technology. As such, it is the standard for all defibrillation today.
