Patient training
3: Patient training
This section gives guidelines for instructing the patient about the LifeVest system
and how to respond to alarms.
We suggest that you:
1 Know what to tell patients and their caregivers (see below)
2 Go over the main points on the next page.
3 Explain the operating modes and alarms as described on page 3-3.
4 Demonstrate the types of alarms that can occur as described on page 3-4.
What to tell patients (and their caregivers) about the 3100
Patients getting the 3100 need to get the same information as patients who
received the 3000 regarding:
y
assembling and wearing the system
y
changing and charging the batteries
y
responding to alarms, and
y sending data using the modem.
This section tells you specifically what to cover about dealing with alarms and
what to do if treated. Be sure to stress that patients are to interact with only the
response buttons and the display. There is no need for the patient to press the
navigation buttons.
The key points to stress:
y If you get a siren alarm, press the response buttons. Remember the response
buttons light to help you find them, even in the dark.
y If you get a gong alarm, look at the display and do what it says. The display
will tell you the problem, perhaps indicate what to do, including to press the
response buttons to stop the alarm after reading the display.
It’s important for anyone who lives with the patient to be instructed not to remove
the 3100 from the patient, and not to remove the battery from the device, even if
the patient appears to be unconscious. The device is still monitoring the patient.
The device should only be removed by someone who is prepared to perform
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, such as an EMS technician or hospital ER
personnel.
