Defibrillating a Patient
2-2
1. Select Energy
1
Turn the Energy Select control to the desired energy level. The defibrillator is
now on.
2
Prepare the paddles by following these steps.
a.
Remove the paddles from their holders by grasping the handles and lifting
them straight up.
b.
Apply Redux® electrolyte paste to the electrode surface of each paddle.
Do not allow paste to accumulate on your hands or on the paddle
handles to avoid risk of electrical shock.
3
Apply the paddles as described below.
a.
Place the left (Sternum) paddle near the upper sternum just below the
patient's right clavicle.
b.
Place the right (Apex) paddle on the chest just below and to the left of the
patient's left nipple, in the anterior-axillary line.
4
Rub the paddles lightly against the skin to increase contact between the patient
skin and the paddles. Then keep the paddles still to reduce motion artifact on the
monitor.
Do not spread paste between the paddle electrodes on the chest.
The patient can be burned if the paste forms a path between the
electrodes.
5
Apply 10 to 12 kg of pressure to the paddles.
2. Charge
Press the Charge button on either the right (Apex) paddle or on the instrument front
panel.
