Manual Defibrillation

LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
Possible Incorrect Energy Delivery
The defibrillator does not automatically adjust energy
when using pediatric therapy electrodes or pediatric
standard paddles. Manually select the appropriate
energy prior to defibrillating the patient.
Manual Mode
The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is set up to operate in Manual mode when it is turned on
(factory default setting). If required by your protocols, the defibrillator can be set up to power on
in the automated external defibrillator (AED) mode. For information on switching from AED mode
to Manual mode, see Switching from AED Mode to Manual Mode (on page 126).
Manual Defibrillation Procedure
To perform manual defibrillation:
1.
Verify that the patient is in cardiopulmonary arrest (unconscious, pulseless, not breathing
normally).
2.
Press
ON
.
3.
Identify the electrode or paddle sites on the patient and prepare the patient’s skin. (See
Patient Skin Preparation (on page 117).) Use either the anterior-lateral or anterior-posterior
position.
4.
Connect the therapy electrodes to the therapy cable and confirm cable connection to the
defibrillator.
5.
Apply therapy electrodes to the patient in anterior-lateral or anterior-posterior position. If
using standard paddles, apply conductive gel to the paddles and place paddles on the
patient’s chest in the anterior-lateral position.
6.
Confirm desired energy is selected, or press
ENERGY SELECT
or rotate the
SPEED DIAL
to
select the desired energy. On the standard (hard) paddles, rotate the
ENERGY SELECT
dial.
7.
Press
CHARGE.
While the defibrillator is charging, a charging bar appears and a ramping tone
sounds, indicating the charging energy level. When the defibrillator is fully charged, the
screen displays available energy.
8.
Make certain all personnel, including the operator, stand clear of the patient, stretcher, bed,
and any equipment connected to the patient.
9.
Confirm ECG rhythm requires defibrillation. Confirm available energy.
