Patients with no pulse and no shockable rhythm (cardiac arrest or pulseless electrical
activity).
• Synchronous defibrillation:
Patients with pulseless and unresponsive ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular
tachycardia or polymorphic tachycardia, pulseless activity, and cardiac arrest.
• Non-invasive external pacing:
Patients with prolonged cardiac arrest.
Contraindicated for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and use with caution in cases of
severe hypothermia.
• NIBP monitoring:
Not for use in patients with sickle cell disease and skin lesions that have occurred or are
