5. Place the conductive surface of paddle electrodes against the patient's right atrium and left ventricle, as
shown in the figure below:
6. Charge the defibrillator by pressing the Charge button on the front panel.
7. Make sure no one is touching the patient or anything connected to the patient.
8. Press the Shock button on the front panel.
NOTE
•
When internal paddles are used for defibrillation, the energy selection is automatically limited to 50
joules because of possible cardiac damage from higher energies.
•
Sterilize the internal paddles before each use. Otherwise, severe infection may result.
•
Clean the internal paddles after each use.
7.5 Synchronized Cardioversion
Synchronized cardioversion allows you to synchronize delivery of the defibrillator shock with the R-wave of the
ECG. You may choose to perform synchronized cardioversion through electrode pads, external and internal
paddles.
To use synchronized cardioversion, press the [ Enter Sync ] soft key in the asynchronous defibrillation mode.
Then [SYNC] appears in the manual Defibrillation information area and a marker appears above each R-wave,
see the figure below:
You can monitor ECG through electrode pads, or external paddles, or electrodes connected to a 3- or 5-lead ECG
cable. Shock is delivered through either electrode pads or external paddles. For synchronized cardioversion, we
recommend to acquire patient’s ECG through ECG lead set.
