| 1. A kit for use by a rescuer who applies chest compressions to a victim that has cardiac arrest symptoms treatable by use
of a defibrillator, comprising:
a protector sheet which has upper and lower faces and which resists the passage of current between said faces, said protector
sheet being constructed to cover a chest area of the victim with the lower face resting directly against the victim and the
upper face accessible to be pressed down by the rescuer;
said sheet having upper and lower dielectric layers forming said upper and lower faces and said sheet having a conductive
layer of electrically conductive material lying between the dielectric layers;
said conductive layer occupying a majority of the area of said protector sheet upper face;
a connector extending from said conductive layer and having a termination part adapted for connecting to a potential source;
a pair of electrodes; and
a defibrillator connected to said pair of electrodes with said pair of electrodes constructed so they can be placed against
the skin of the victim.
