LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
metronome prompts the rescuer to perform CPR at the selected compression to ventilation
(C:V) ratio.
Age-Airway Considerations
The default C:V ratio for the metronome (in both AED and Manual modes) is Adult - No
Airway (30:2) because most patients in cardiac arrest are adults who have an initially
unsecured airway. In Manual mode, the user can choose the most appropriate C:V ratio
based on the patient’s age and current airway status. The Age-Airway selection determines
the C:V ratio of the metronome sounds. The default C:V ratios are shown in the following
table.

* No Airway = No artificial airway in place
** Airway = Advanced artificial airway in place

Note:
The compression-to-ventilation ratio selections can be set up according to local
medical protocols. For more information, see the

provided with your device.
Activating and Deactivating the Metronome
To activate the CPR metronome in Manual mode:
1.
Press
CPR
. The CPR Metronome
menu appears and the metronome is
activated using the Adult-No Airway
default setting.
2.
Use the
SPEED DIAL
to highlight and
select the desired Age-Airway setting.
When the metronome is on, a message
appears in the message area that indicates
the current Age-Airway selection.
Note:
If the VF/VT alarm is on, it is suspended when the metronome is on to prevent false
VF/VT alarms. If other vital sign alarms activate when the metronome is on, the visual
indicators occur, but the alarm tone is suppressed until the metronome is deactivated.
