1. A medical assembly for use in providing resuscitative treatment to a patient, comprising:
a first therapy pad comprising a first non-conductive substrate and a first electrically conductive layer in contact with the first non-conductive substrate;
a second therapy pad comprising a second non-conductive substrate and a second electrically conductive layer in contact with the second non-conductive substrate;
a third therapy pad comprising a third non-conductive substrate and a third electrically conductive layer in contact with the third non-conductive substrate;
a chest compression sensor removably attached to a top surface of at least one of the first therapy pad, second therapy pad, or third therapy pad, the top surface being opposite from a bottom surface of the at least one of the first therapy pad, second therapy pad, or third therapy pad, the bottom surface being arranged to contact skin of the patient when in use; and
a controller coupled to each of the first, second, and third therapy pads, the controller being configured to
initiate application of a first defibrillation current between the respective electrically conductive layers of at least two therapy pads of the first therapy pad, the second therapy pad, and the third therapy pad such that a first vector of current travel occurs between the at least two therapy pads, and
initiate application of a second defibrillation current between the respective electrically conductive layers of two or more therapy pads of the first therapy pad, the second therapy pad, and the third therapy pad such that a second vector of current travel different from the first vector of current travel occurs between the two or more therapy pads.
