Recording ECGs during Defibrillation
This equipment is protected against the effects of cardiac defibrillator discharge
to ensure recovery, as required by test standards. The patient signal input of the
acquisition module is defibrillation-proof. It is not necessary to remove the ECG
electrodes prior to defibrillation.
When using stainless steel or silver electrodes, a defibrillator discharge current may
cause the electrodes to retain a residual charge causing a polarization or DC offset
voltage. This electrode polarization blocks acquisition of the ECG signal. To avoid this
condition, if there is a situation where a defibrillation procedure is necessary, use
non-polarizing electrodes such as silver/silver-chloride types, which do not form a DC
offset voltage when subjected to a DC current.
If you use polarizing electrodes, GE Healthcare recommends disconnecting the
leadwires from the patient before delivering the shock.
