A disarmingly simple device has been invented to facilitate uninterrupted chest compression. It is a "blanket" which protects the rescuer from electrical shock which then may be delivered without asking the rescuer to "Step back, do not touch the patient". The voltage delivered to the hand of the rescuer is reduced from hundreds of volts to less than 50 volts. A multi-layer silicone fabric separated by a conductive material, "bleeds" the excess electrical charge back into the victim and away from the rescuer.  (US Patent 6,360,125)
