Monitoring During Pacing
Multifunction defib electrode pads cannot be used to monitor the ECG and
deliver paced pulses simultaneously. When pacing in demand or fixed mode,
you must monitor the patient through either 3- or 5-lead monitoring elec-
trodes. The Heartstream XL uses the R-wave detection from this monitoring
source to determine if a paced pulse should be delivered.

Preparing for Pacing
To prepare for pacing, perform the following steps.
1. Apply multifunction defib electrode pads as directed on the package. Use
either the anterior-apex or anterior-posterior placement, as appropriate.
2. Connect the pads to the patient cable. (See Figure 6-3.)
3. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card
(Optional)” on 2-13).
4. Turn the Energy Select knob to Manual On.
