Defibrillation Procedure
To defibrillate the patient:
1
Press
ON
to turn on the defibrillator.
2 To access the pediatric paddles, slide the adult paddle forward until it releases.
3 Apply defibrillation gel to the pediatric paddle electrode surfaces.
4 Select the appropriate energy for the weight of the child according to American Heart
Association recommendations (or equivalent guidelines).
5 Place the paddles firmly on the patient's chest.
6 Press
CHARGE
.
7 Make certain all personnel, including the operator, are clear of the patient, the bed, and any
equipment connected to the patient.
8 Confirm ECG rhythm and available energy.
9 Press
the
SHOCK
button on the defibrillator or the
SHOCK
buttons on the standard paddles to
discharge energy to the patient. For standard paddles, apply firm pressure with both paddles to
the patient’s chest, and press both paddle buttons simultaneously to discharge energy to the
patient. For safety reasons, the
SHOCK
button on the defibrillator front panel is disabled when
using standard paddles.
Note:
To disarm (cancel the charge), press the Speed Dial. The defibrillator disarms
automatically if shock buttons are not pressed within 60 seconds, or if you change the
energy selection after charging begins. Press
CHARGE
to restart charging.
Note:
If the
ABNORMAL ENERGY DELIVERY
message appears and the shock is not effective,
increase energy, if necessary, and repeat shock. (Also refer to
