Defibrillation during pacing / Defibrillation via self-adhesive
electrodes
If ventricular fibrillation occurs during pacing, it must be stopped immediately through
defibrillation. Defibrillation can also be done through the applied self-adhesive electrodes
(PRIMEDIC™ SavePads Connect
).
Press the required energy button. A warning signal sounds, as pressing the energy selection
button stops stimulation.
Press the Charge button on the control panel to prepare the defibrillation charge. Trigger
defibrillation via the self-adhesive electrodes by pressing the green-lit trigger button on the
control panel.
To reactivate the Pacer after defibrillation, it must be switched on again.
Note
Defibrillation can also be carried out via the paddles, even though the adhesive
electrodes are attached. Load the selected energy charge by briefly pressing one of
the paddle trigger buttons and trigger defibrillation by pressing the buttons
simultaneously.
