Step 3: Shock Delivery
3-4 Using Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2
Step 3: Shock Delivery
Press the Shock button to deliver the shock.
IMPORTANT: You must press the button for a shock to be delivered. The
H
EARTSTREAM FR2 will not automatically deliver a shock.
There are four ways you can tell that the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 is ready to
deliver a shock:
you hear a voice prompt telling you to deliver a shock,
you see the Shock button flashing,
you hear a steady tone, or
you see a screen prompt telling you to press the orange (Shock)
button.
After you press the Shock button, a voice prompt tells you the shock was
delivered. Then H
EARTSTREAM FR2 goes back to analyzing the patient’s heart
rhythm to see if the shock was successful. The H
EARTSTREAM FR2 continues
to provide voice and text prompts to guide you through additional shocks, if
appropriate.
NOTE: If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds of being prompted,
the FR2 will disarm itself and provide a pause for CPR.
Pause for CPR. After the programmed number of shocks in a shock series are
delivered, the H
EARTSTREAM FR2 automatically pauses for a programmed
amount of time to allow you to perform CPR. After the voice and screen
prompts tell you that the FR2 has paused, there are no further voice prompts
during the rest of the pause, so that you can provide uninterrupted patient
care.
During the pause, the FR2 screen shows a bar that fills in as the pause time is
used up. The screen also shows how much time has gone by since the FR2
was turned on, and how many shocks have been delivered. The
H
EARTSTREAM model M3860A displays the ECG during this period.
