6 Defibrillating in Manual Mode
In Manual Mode you analyze the ECG, decide if defibrillation is indicated,
select the energy level, charge the device, and deliver the shock. The defibril-
lation process is under your control. There are no voice prompts. However,
system and momentary messages provide relevant information throughout the
process. It is important to be attentive to these messages.
This chapter describes how to defibrillate using Manual Mode. For Manual
Mode features such as synchronized cardioversion and pacing, see
Chapter 7: Performing Synchronized Cardioversion and
Chapter 8: Pacing (Optional).
For information on storing, retrieving, and printing patient information
acquired in Manual Mode, see Chapter 9: Storing, Retrieving, and Printing.
