    Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute answered:
    During a cardioversion, a patient's heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and blood-oxygen levels are monitored. Through adhesive monitors, a cardioverter provides heart-rate information and an electrocardiogram or EKG provides information about electrical impulses traveling through the heart.
