1. An electrode assembly comprising:
electrodes configured to receive a first electrical signal from a subject;
a connector coupled to the electrodes and configured to connect the electrodes to a defibrillator;
a processor configured to cause the connector to block a second electrical signal between the electrodes and the defibrillator in response to determining that a metric associated with the electrodes is outside of a predetermined range; and
a circuit coupled to one of the electrodes and configured to cause information to be transmitted to the defibrillator, wherein the information is indicative of a number of shocks delivered with the electrodes.
